Yep, I considered it once, and wouldn't I have to replicate the real
thing, maybe I would already have done it.
The only trouble-maker with resizing a partition is the block bitmap,
which will grow, so that everything behind it (the log starts
immediately after the bitmap, then come the indices) have to move until
they find a place.
Adios...
