Definition:
- ext2/ext3/ext4 Filesystem resizer
- You can enlarge a mounted file system, but you must unmount the filesystem before you can shrink it.
- If you don’t specify a size, the file system will be resized to the same size as the partition
- It’s important to note that resize2fs does not resize partitions, only the filesystem.
- must use a command such as fdisk command or an LVM tool to first expand the size of the partition/volume and to then enlarge the file system.
