fsadm — utility to resize or check filesystem on a device

fsadm

[/options/] check device

fsadm

[/options/] resize device [/new_size/]

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.

-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.

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’.

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.
