TRUEST · #1 (**permalink**) 07-06-2003

can someone tell me the basic steps needed to resize and existing filesystem that already has data on it?

thanks

I dont need to be pointed to a website so any real time real life advice or help will be wholly appreciated

For resizing ext2/3, fat and reiserfs partitions, I can only think of parted on Linux.

Not sure about other platforms.

Maintenance Commands growfs(1M)

growfs - non-destructively expand a UFS file system

----

if you want to take space away from a FS you have to recreate it from scratch. for that you can use the format command.
