[Fwd: Bug#211747: typo: "you do not need to both defragmenting"]

[Timshel Knoll]

Hi parted-ers,

Here's a documentation bug. #1 can be ignored, since parted _can_ resize
fragmented partitions; there is no problems with this part of the text.
However, #2 is definitely an error, and #3 could be talked about (again)
:-)

Cheers,

Timshel
