Sounds fine.

Perhaps when END is prefixed with '+' the value could indicate the size of the
partition rather than the end boundary, e.g.
resize 2 500 +2000
would mean a 2 GB partition starting @ 500 MB ? It would be a nice feature, but
the semantics of '-' and '+' wouldn't be consistent. Maybe there's a better
way. fdisk's semantics are N is boundary and +N is size with no option to
specify the boundary from the end.
Anyways, thanks for your attention,
