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

SYNOPSIS
       fsdam [options] check device

       fsdam [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 Ext2/3, ReiserFS and  XFS  filesystem  and	simply
       resize and filesystem check operation.

OPTIONS
       -h --help
	      — print help message

       -v --verbose
	      — be more verbose

       -e --ext-offline
	      — unmount Ext2/3 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 size of the
       filesystem on logical volume  /dev/vg/test.  If	/dev/vg/test  contains
       Ext2/3  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.
