Converting Blocks to megabytes and gigabytes.

Sorry for the simple question.

I am new to Unix and Unix AIX.

I increased a file system the other day but cheated and used a conversion calculator.

Could you good people tell me the best way to increase a file system that is in 512 byte blocks.

Say the file system is 100mb and I wanted to increase to 200mb how would I work this out?

Thanks for your help

No file system extension will be done. Verbose flag. Specifies the number of blocks to be added to the file system. If the number of blocks is not specified, the maximum possible size is used. EXAMPLES
To increase the capacity of a file system created on a logical volume, enter: WARNINGS
The root file system cannot be extended using the command because the root file system is always mounted, and the command only works on unmounted file systems. will fail if used on a file system, on a logical volume, where the logical block size of the logical volume is greater than the file sys- tem's fragment size. The logical block size, of a logical volume changes, when additional disks with larger sector size are added. RETURN VALUE
