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 or "max"
-i --info: Show volume information
-p --progress: Show progress
-q --quiet: Be quiet
-v --verbose: Verbose (not version)

EXAMPLES

fatresize -s 2G /dev/evms/hdb2

fatresize -q -s max /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.
