fsadm -- utility to resize or check filesystem on a device
fsadm
[options] check device
fsadm [options] resize device [new_size[BKMGTEP]]
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.
- -e, --ext-offline
- Unmount ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem before doing resize.
- -f, --force
- Bypass some sanity checks.
- -h, --help
- Display the help text.
- -n, --dry-run
- Print commands without running them.
- -v, --verbose
- Be more verbose.
- -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.
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.
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
- 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.
