NAME
fsadm - utility to resize or check filesystem on a device
SYNOPSIS
fsdam [options] check device fsdam [options] resize device [new_size[BKMGTEP]]
DESCRIPTION
fsadm utility resizes or checks the filesystem on a device. It tries to use the same API for ext2/ext3/ext4, ReiserFS and XFS filesystem.
OPTIONS
- -h --help
- -- print help message
- -v --verbose
- -- be more verbose
- -e --ext-offline
- -- unmount ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem before doing resize
- -f --force
- -- bypass some sanity checks
- -n --dry-run
- -- print commands without running them
- -y --yes
- -- answer "yes" at any prompts
- new_size
- -- Absolute number of filesystem blocks to be in the filesystem, or an absolute size using a suffix (in powers of 1024). If new_size is not supplied, the whole device is used.
EXAMPLES
"fsadm -e -y resize /dev/vg/test 1000M" tries to resize the filesystem
on logical volume /dev/vg/test. If /dev/vg/test contains ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem it will be unmounted prior the resize. All [y|n] questions
will be answered 'y'.
