That's not what I would call "grow" as it effectively destroys the old
partition and its data and creates a new one. I would call "grow" and
"shrink" when only the size of the old partition is changed and its data
kept intact, in the same manner as the Ubuntu installer allows you to do
with pre-existing ntfs partitions.
