Hallo, Phillip,

Du meintest am 30.11.11:

> Currently the resize command is under filesystem, and takes a path to
> the mounted filesystem.  This seems wrong to me.  Shouldn't it be
> under device, and take a path to a device to resize?

No - it's a filesystem operation.

p.e.
You start with a system of 2 disks. They get filled nearly  
simultaneously.
Then you add a 3rd disk (which is empty at that time). Now it's a good  
idea to run "balance" for equalizing the filling.


Viele Gruesse!
