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. AUTHOR
