Ah. Thanks for the correction.

One might assume that it was an SSD that was powered down during writing. In this case all bets are off. Don't Do That.

Thus there needs to be an "work in progress, do NOT shut down" dialog/message/whatever. (Assuming that systemd doesn't time out the resize.)

That sounds like a job for `systemd-inhibit(1)`. See https://systemd.io/INHIBITOR_LOCKS/
