Yes, of course. "SLES" is for "SuSE Linux Enterprise System" - basically SuSE with less options but with a high price so that big business can "buy" the good.

They have i.e. from SLES 11 to SLES 12 dropped the real ksh93 from their repository and now have some "pdksh" under the name of "ksh" (which you only find out if you are willing to follow a symlink pointing to a symlink pointing to a.... - and of course by seeing your ksh scripts fail) and they also dropped ext4 and ext2 and ext in favour of ext3 without announcement (try updating a system from SLES 11 to SLES 12 and half of your filesystems might be missing without notice) - but, hey, they are charging a lot of money for that, so it must be good, no?

Sorry for some traces of sarcasm in my diatribe its a leftover from applying "common sense" (actually not part of ITIL) to systems administration.

fsadm

FSADM(8)																  FSADM(8)

NAME

       fsadm - utility to resize or check filesystem on a device

SYNOPSIS

       fsadm [options] check device

       fsadm [options] resize device [new_size[BKMGTEP]]

DESCRIPTION

       fsadm  utility  checks or resizes the filesystem on a device.  It tries to use the same API for ext2, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS and XFS filesys-
       tem.

OPTIONS

       -e, --ext-offline
	      Unmount ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem before doing resize.

       -f, --force
	      Bypass some sanity checks.

       -h, --help
	      Display the help text.

       -n, --dry-run
	      Print commands without running them.

       -v, --verbose
	      Be more verbose.

       -y, --yes
	      Answer "yes" at any prompts.

       new_size
	      Absolute number of filesystem blocks to be in the filesystem, or an absolute size using a suffix (in powers of 1024).   If  new_size
	      is not supplied, the whole device is used.

DIAGNOSTICS

       On  successful completion, the status code is 0.  A status code of 2 indicates the operation was interrupted by the user.  A status code of
       3 indicates the requested check operation could not be performed because the filesystem is mounted and does not support an online  fsck(8).
       A status code of 1 is used for other failures.

EXAMPLES

       Resize  the  filesystem	on  logical  volume /dev/vg/test to 1000 megabytes.  If /dev/vg/test contains ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem it will be
       unmounted prior the resize.  All [y|n] questions will be answered 'y'.

       fsadm -e -y resize /dev/vg/test 1000M

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       TMPDIR The temporary directory name for mount points. Defaults to "/tmp".

       DM_DEV_DIR
	      The device directory name.  Defaults to "/dev" and must be an absolute path.
