(parted) resize 9

WARNING: you are attempting to use parted to operate on (resize) a file system.

parted's file system manipulation code is not as robust as what you'll find in

dedicated, file-system-specific packages like e2fsprogs. We recommend

you use parted only to manipulate partition tables, whenever possible.

Support for performing most operations on most types of file systems

will be removed in an upcoming release.

Start? [373GB]? 373GB

End? [500GB]? 450GB

As shown above, parted command will always warn whenever you are attempting to do something dangerous (i.e : rm, resize, mkfs).

The size of partition 9 is actually reduced from 127GB to 77GB. Verify that the partition is resized properly using the print command as shown below.

(parted) print
