I prefer following version:
(Assuming target size is 10GiB=2621440x4KiB)

cat /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /dev/zero | dd iflag=fullblock bs=4K count=2621440 of=/host/ubuntu/disks/newroot.disk
fsck -y -f /host/ubuntu/disks/newroot.disk
resize2fs /host/ubuntu/disks/newroot.disk 10G

Neither dd nor resize2fs, alone, changes the size of the image , so the concatenation part is mandatory.

I've updated the wiki for release 1.6 of the script.

There are no specific changes required to support Ubuntu 12.10, but I've added support for grub-legacy users (original install on Ubuntu 9.04 or earlier), and there's some minor cleanup.

I've also added signed checksums of the scripts so that users can verify them before using.

For the step 5 of manual resize, there's a missing quote(') at the rsync command(at the end of exclude /home)

rsync -av --exclude '/sys/*' --exclude '/proc/*' --exclude '/host/*' --exclude '/mnt/*' --exclude '/media/*/*' --exclude '/tmp/*' --exclude '/home/*/.gvfs' --exclude '/home/*/.cache/gvfs' --exclude '/root/.gvfs' --exclude '/var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs' / /media/newdisk

It didn't worked for me then only I noticed that there's a missing quote and now the rsync works for me

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix it!

you're welcome . I was relatively surprised that it wasn't working until I found the missing quote then only I get what it doesn't works

Thankfully most people take my advice and use the script which I test on an ongoing basis.

But I should have rerun the manual commands after each edit so my apologies for that.
