NAME
       fsadm - utility to resize or check filesystem on a device

SYNOPSIS
       fsadm [options] check device

       fsadm [options] resize device [new_size[BKMGTEP]]

DESCRIPTION
       fsadm  utility  resizes or checks the filesystem on a device.  It tries
       to use the same API for ext2/ext3/ext4, ReiserFS and XFS filesystem.

OPTIONS
       -h --help
	      — print help message

       -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.

EXAMPLES
       "fsadm -e -y resize /dev/vg/test 1000M" tries to resize the  filesystem
       on logical volume /dev/vg/test. If /dev/vg/test contains ext2/ext3/ext4
       filesystem it will be unmounted prior the resize.  All [y|n]  questions
       will be answered 'y'.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       TMPDIR Where the temporary directory should be created.
