That doesn't have to be the case; in the end, the file system itself must be bothered with the question of the overhead of a partition resize operation - only the file system can now if it needs more space to i.e. store the (now) fragmented file or something like this. Of course, we could just have a generic safety margin that would be suitable for all file systems, like there needs to be at least 3% free space in the new volume, or something like that. Adios...
