    resize: fix 'No space left on device' problem when copying to an extended partition (RHBZ#1169015)
    
    Because of the size of an extended partition reported by Linux is always 1024
    bytes, so it will always fail to copy to an extended partition.
    
    This patch fixes this problem by copying to the offset of an extended
    partition in the destination disk.
