[Bug 1313600] Re: gparted crashes when trying to resize fat32 partition on live USB

[Yanpas]

This bug was fixed in libparted 3.2
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764558

BUT! libparted 3.2 suffers from another bug: Bug 759916 - fat(32) resizing generates boot sector(s) with invalid jump
instruction and pseudo-random boot code
