Synopsis
resize2fs [options]device[size]
System administration command. Enlarge or shrink an ext2 filesystem on device so it has size blocks. The filesystem size cannot be larger than the underlying partition. This command changes only the filesystem size, not the underlying partition. To change the partition, use fdisk.
