NAME
fsadm - utility to resize or check filesystem on a deviceSYNOPSIS
fsadm [options] check devicefsadm [options] resize device [new_size[BKMGTEP]]
DESCRIPTION
fsadm utility checks or resizes the filesystem on a device. It tries to use the same API for ext2,ext3,ext4,ReiserFS and XFS filesystem.OPTIONS
- -h, --help
- Display the help text.
- -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.
DIAGNOSTICS
On successful completion, the status code is 0. A status code of 2 indicates the operation was interrupted by the user. A status code of 3 indicates the requested check operation could not be performed because the filesystem is mounted and does not support an online fsck(8). A status code of 1 is used for other failures.EXAMPLES
Resize the filesystem on logical volume /dev/vg/test to 1000 megabytes. If /dev/vg/test contains ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem it will be unmounted prior the resize. All [y|n] questions will be answered 'y'.fsadm -e -y resize /dev/vg/test 1000M
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
- TMPDIR
- The temporary directory name for mount points. Defaults to "/tmp".
- DM_DEV_DIR

The device directory name.
Defaults to "/dev" and must be an absolute path.
