Hello,
I've searched over the docs (and the net) and it seems that I'm not
wrong: parted can resize an ext3, provided that "the new start must be
the same as the old start" [1].
But I've 2 kinds of different errors, here the output (note that the
partition is unmounted and I tried in "emergency" mode with the same
results).

Is this really a bug or am I missing something?
BTW, just FYI, qtparted (Debian unstable and SystemRescueCD [2])
doesn't give me the option to resize /dev/hda9, while I can resize
/dev/hda3 (the extended partition).
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

"Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition."
is not a bug and is the normal behavior. When you specify
a position in MB, Parted takes the best solution +- 1 MB of
the value you specified. In the partition scheme 52GB was
indeed 51512MB rounded, and because resize was asked to
resize to 52000MB -> 59000MB it refused to do anything
because the start of an ext2 partition can't be changed by
Parted.
"Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!"
This bug appeared because command_line_get_sector did not
set the allowed range of sectors when the default value was
taken by the user, so the values used for describing this
range during the program operation after that point were
unspecified and near to random ones...
