NAME

fsadm — utility to resize or check filesystem on a device

SYNOPSIS

fsadm

[ options ] check device

fsadm

[ options ] resize device [ new_size ]

DESCRIPTION

fsadm utility checks or resizes the filesystem on a device (can be also dm-crypt encrypted device). It tries to use the same API for ext2 , ext3 , ext4 , ReiserFS and XFS filesystem.

OPTIONS

-e | --ext-offline

Unmount ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem before doing resize.

-f | --force

Bypass some sanity checks.

-h | --help

Display the help text.

-l | --lvresize

Resize also given lvm2 logical volume. More volume management functionality is provided with complementary lvresize (8) and the option -r | --resizefs.

-n | --dry-run

Print commands without running them.

-v | --verbose

Be more verbose.

-y | --yes

Answer "yes" at any prompts.

-c | --cryptresize

Resize dm-crypt mapping together with filesystem detected on the device. The dm-crypt device must be recognizable by cryptsetup(8).

new_size [ B | K | M | G | T | P | E ]

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 MiB. 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.
