It can be used to +enlarge or shrink an unmounted file system located on +.IR device . +If the file system is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of the +mounted file system, assuming the kernel and the file system supports +on-line resizing. (Modern Linux 2.6 kernels will support on-line resize +for file systems mounted using ext3 and ext4; ext3 file systems will +require the use of file systems with the resize_inode feature enabled.) +.PP +The +.I size +parameter specifies the requested new size of the file system. +If no units are specified, the units of the +.I size +parameter shall be the file system blocksize of the file system. +Optionally, the +.I size +parameter may be suffixed by one of the following units +designators: 'K', 'M', 'G', 'T' (either upper-case or lower-case) or 's' +for power-of-two kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes or 512 byte +sectors respectively. The +.I size +of the file system may never be larger than the size of the partition. +If +.I size +parameter is not specified, it will default to the size of the partition. +.PP +The +.B resize2fs +program does not manipulate the size of partitions. If you wish to enlarge +a file system, you must make sure you can expand the size of the +underlying partition first. This can be done using +.BR fdisk (8) +by deleting the partition and recreating it with a larger size or using +.BR lvextend (8), +if you're using the logical volume manager +.BR lvm (8). +When +recreating the partition, make sure you create it with the same starting +disk cylinder as before! Otherwise, the resize operation will +certainly not work, and you may lose your entire file system. +After running +.BR fdisk (8), +run resize2fs to resize the ext2 file system +to use all of the space in the newly enlarged partition. +.PP +If you wish to shrink an ext2 partition, first use +.B resize2fs +to shrink the size of file system. Then you may use +.BR fdisk (8) +to shrink the size of the partition. When shrinking the size of +the partition, make sure you do not make it smaller than the new size +of the ext2 file system! +.PP +The +.B \-b +and +.B \-s +options enable and disable the 64bit feature, respectively. The resize2fs +program will, of course, take care of resizing the block group descriptors +and moving other data blocks out of the way, as needed. It is not possible +to resize the file system concurrent with changing the 64bit status. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-b +Turns on the 64bit feature, resizes the group descriptors as necessary, and +moves other metadata out of the way. +.TP +.B \-d \fIdebug-flags +Turns on various resize2fs debugging features, if they have been compiled +into the binary. +.I debug-flags +should be computed by adding the numbers of the desired features +from the following list: +.br + 2 \-\ Debug block relocations +.br + 4 \-\ Debug inode relocations +.br + 8 \-\ Debug moving the inode table +.br + 16 \-\ Print timing information +.br + 32 \-\ Debug minimum file system size (\-M) calculation +.TP +.B \-f +Forces resize2fs to proceed with the file system resize operation, overriding +some safety checks which resize2fs normally enforces. +.TP +.B \-F +Flush the file system device's buffer caches before beginning. Only +really useful for doing +.B resize2fs +time trials. +.TP +.B \-M +Shrink the file system to minimize its size as much as possible, +given the files stored in the file system. +.TP +.B \-p +Print out percentage completion bars for each +.B resize2fs +phase during an offline (non-trivial) resize operation, so that the user +can keep track of what the program is doing. (For very fast resize +operations, no progress bars may be displayed.) +.TP +.B \-P +Print an estimate of the number of file system blocks in the file system +if it is shrunk using +.BR resize2fs 's +.B \-M +option and then exit. +.TP +.B \-s +Turns off the 64bit feature and frees blocks that are no longer in use. +.TP +.B \-S \fIRAID-stride +The +.B resize2fs +program will heuristically determine the RAID stride that was specified +when the file system was created. This option allows the user to +explicitly specify a RAID stride setting to be used by resize2fs instead. +.TP +.BI \-z " undo_file" +Before overwriting a file system block, write the old contents of the block to +an undo file. This undo file can be used with e2undo(8) to restore the old +contents of the file system should something go wrong. If the empty string is +passed as the undo_file argument, the undo file will be written to a file named +resize2fs-\fIdevice\fR.e2undo in the directory specified via the +\fIE2FSPROGS_UNDO_DIR\fR environment variable. + +WARNING: The undo file cannot be used to recover from a power or system crash. +.SH KNOWN BUGS +The minimum size of the file system as estimated by resize2fs may be +incorrect, especially for file systems with 1k and 2k blocksizes. +.SH AUTHOR +.B resize2fs +was written by Theodore Ts'o . +.SH COPYRIGHT +Resize2fs is Copyright 1998 by Theodore Ts'o and PowerQuest, Inc.
