fsadm - utility to resize or check filesystem on a device

CONTENTS

fsdam [options] check device

fsdam [options] resize device [new_size[BKMGTEP]]

fsadm utility resizes or checks the filesystem on a device. It tries to use the same API for Ext2/3, ReiserFS and XFS filesystem and simply resize and filesystem check operation.

-h --help	— print help message
-v --verbose
	— be more verbose
-e --ext-offline
	— unmount Ext2/3 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.

"fsadm -e -y resize /dev/vg/test 1000M" tries to resize the size of the filesystem on logical volume /dev/vg/test. If /dev/vg/test contains Ext2/3 filesystem it will be unmounted prior the resize. All [y|n] questions will be answered ’y’.

TMPDIR
	Where the temporary directory should be created.

lvm(8), lvresize(8), lvm.conf(5), tune2fs(8), resize2fs(8), reiserfstune(8), resize_reiserfs(8), xfs_info(8), xfs_growfs(8), xfs_check(8)
