Hi. Why does "resize" set the flag "lba"?
(parted) p
Disk geometry for /dev/hde: 0.000-39266.718 megabytes

In addition, I was surprised that resizing an extended
partition works although its logical partitions are
mounted. If this is a feature, one could add a sentence
to the description of "resize". (It simplifies my
massive hard disk reorganization substantially :-) )
