Ok. I didn't understad how YaST Partitioner resizes the NTFS filesystems.. but
the answer is in GNU Parted manual:

--------------
Command: mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end

    Creates a new partition, without creating a new file system on that
partition. This is useful for creating partitions for file systems (or LVM,
etc.) that Parted doesn't support. You may specify a file system type, to set
the appropriate partition code in the partition table for the new partition.
fs-type is required for data partitions (i.e., non-extended partitions).
start and end are the offset from the beginning of the disk, that is, the
"distance" from the start of the disk.

    part-type is one of: primary, extended, logical. Extended and logical are
only used for msdos and mips disk labels.

    fs-type must be on of these supported file systems:

        * ext2
        * fat32
        * fat16
        * HFS
        * linux-swap
        * NTFS
        * reiserfs
        * ufs

Nice.
