I'm at a point in a project where hacking some firmware was easy, but resizing a FAT32 partition is turning out to be impossible.

Making it bigger should be trivial, so I assume you are shrinking it. Time to grab the MS-DOS defragmentation tool!

Nope, making it bigger. You'd *think* it would be trivial, but fatresize exits with an error code and no message. Tried some Windows thing and it was taking forever. parted dropped support. I suspect it's nontrivial for some reason like having to make space for a bigger FAT?

Parted no longer supports resizing FAT32 as of 3.0.

Not worth it. I ended up just copying the files (which had a chance of being an issue but worked in the end).
