NAME
fatresize -- Resize an FAT16/FAT32 volume non-destructively
SYNOPSIS
fatresize [-s SIZE] [device]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the fatresize
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
-h --help
Show summary of options.
-s --size
Resize volume to SIZE[k|M|G|ki|Mi|Gi] bytes

fatresize -i /dev/hdg3
Size and device is required to run. You can resize device-mapped partitions, e.g. EVMS partitions.
BUGS
You can't resize FAT32 partition lesser than 512Mb because Windows(R) doesn't work properly with small FAT32 file system. Use FAT16.
