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.


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.  A status code of 1 is used for other failures.


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.
