I'm trying to resize an ext2 partition and it fails with 
     SIGXFSZ (File size limit exceeded)  
 
Using /dev/hdc 
Information: The operating system thinks the geometry on /dev/hdc is 
39693/16/63.  Therefore, cylinder 1024 ends at 503.999M. 
(parted) print 
Disk geometry for /dev/hdc: 0.000-19536.767 megabytes 
Disk label type: msdos 
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
