How does it know what the user expects?
I think the issue is not with the resize command, but rather the
replace command does not include the resize max operation. Presumably
the user intends the entire block device provided as the target for
replacement to be used.
So I think the mistake is replace assumes the user wants to use the
same amount of space as the former block device. I think if the user
wanted to use the former block device size on the new block device,
they'd partition it and use the partition as the target.
