We had several people reporting that issue that seems to appear if you
have a microSD card that is > 32Gb .
I'm not able to reproduce it as I don't have SD cards that are as big as
that, but it seems an issue with the rootfs-resize tool : see
https://github.com/ctyler/rootfs-resize/issues/2
If that's confirmed, we probably have to stop promoting that tool and
even remove it if that's unmaintained and unfixable.
