SUMMARY
When resizing a FAT32 filesystem, KDE Partition Manager did not resize the
underlying filesystem, which left the filesystem in a broken state.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a 1024 MiB FAT32 partition, and format it.
2. Using KDE Partition manager, resize it to 512 MiB.
OBSERVED RESULT
The partition is resized to 512 MiB. But when running `df -h`, the filesystem
is still shown with its original size. Running `fsck.fat` on it returns an
error and does not complete. KDE Partition Manager cannot resize the partition
back to 1024 MiB.
EXPECTED RESULT
Either the filesystem should be resized in accordance with the partition size,
or KDE Partition Manager should abort the operation with an error to tell the
user that it cannot resize the filesystem to match.
