GParted UPDATE:

If you "apt-get install dosfstools" you can resize your fat32 partitions in GParted! Hooray! This is now the best on-tablet partition editing app. Uninstall QTParted.

NOTES: You have to unmount the mmc card in hildon before starting your Debian chroot. I have found that I cannot unmount the /media/mmc2 card (it becomes "busy" as soon as you mount it, even if you have no virtual memory defined) but I can unmount and then repartition the /media/mmc1 card by typing:

Code:
sudo closechroot
sudo umount /media/mmc1
sudo debian gparted /dev/mmcblk1
TIP: Uncheck "Round to Cylinders" to avoid having the (usually 4MB) unformatted space at the beginning of the card changed.

Resizing my 16GB SD card, preparing for partitioning... (note that the partition has data on it already, I'm resizing without reformatting)
