No, the resizers have been designed to have at worst a very small chance of data loss in the case of power failure. Why do you think it would be an issue? Most resizing algorithms involve writing to free space, or updating block references where the source and destination blocks have the same data. In the case of the FAT resizer, it is possible to have both the old and new filesystems being valid simultaneously! (Provided the FATs, etc. don't overlap) > Does Parted have a policy against all dangerous operations? Yes. I guess we can warn people about dangerous operations...
