fatresize

FATRESIZE(1)						      General Commands Manual						      FATRESIZE(1)

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.

OPTIONS

       These  programs	follow	the  usual  GNU  command  line	syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is
       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

       -i	    --info
		 Show volume information

       -p	    --progress
		 Show progress

       -q	    --quite
		 Be quite

       -v	    --verbose
		 Verbose (not version)

EXAMPLES

       fatresize -s 2G /dev/evms/hdb2

       fatresize -q -s 3G /dev/hde6

       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.
