I'm interested in this too, so I went looking a bit, and there are many 
people citing this message in the parted mailing list archives, but 
AFAICS no responses.

Yeah, well, I don't know if that is exactly the point, but according to 
the GNU parted homepage, parted can only resize ext2, ext3 and reiserFS 
partitions if the starting point remains fixed... I guess that's rarely 
very useful, because in many cases, there is another partition 
immediately following the first partition... That's how it is in my 
case anyway. 

There are probably intentions of fixing this some time, but right now, 
it seems like the only thing those of us who are not great hackers can 
do is wait patiently.

Best,
