Yes, but that's not the case. Based on a log file, no delete and
recreation, just resize (there is indeed a message, "No Implementation:
..." but the partition is resized and the partition start shifted).

So, parted is patched, not the official one.

    [ ... checking, downloading suse parted source rpm ... ]

% rpm -qpl suse-9.1-parted-1.6.6-138.src.rpm | egrep 'dif|patch'
always-resize-part.dif
check_for_rootfs.diff
disable_FAT_check.diff

parted-1.6.6-vio.patch
parted.diff

Aha. Probably the first one is the quilty. It's not official parted
problem.
