Sure, but your wording there leaves me confused :) By saying 'does not support resizing FAT32 partition below or above 256MB.' you are saying it cannot resize anything. AFAIK for FAT32 it needs to be 256MB or larger. Or stated a different way, it cannot be resized if it is smaller than 256MB. I'm fine with changing the wording, but I'm not sure that message only shows up with the FAT32 256MB limitation and I'm not sure how to make it generic and helpful. Brian -- Brian C.

Old know issue with parted causing to fail to resize FAT32 partition above or below 256MB has a misleading error message which is stating: "GNU Parted cannot resize this partition to this size. We're working on it!" According to GParted bug report it has deep roots, which is hard to investigate and having simple workaround results in postponed this issue for many years. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/-/issues/186#note_2347574 Can we change a error message to something more user friendly with more details? Let's say instead saying "we are working on it" say that libparted does not support resizing FAT32 partition below or above 256MB. Only supports resizing partition larger that 256MB. That would reduce confusion, and explain to the user what is wrong instead of suggestion for user to wait until that bug will be fixed. -- AK
