Nope, I was merely saying that resizing is *not* a necessity, except |
| 17 |
you want to use the (larger) space of the partition. A filesystem |
| 18 |
doesn't really care for the size of the partition. That's what I wanted |
| 19 |
to express... just that it doesn't happen automatically, and on the |
| 20 |
other hand is not necessary in order to use the old data. |
