Re: Resize of a reiser4 filesystem?

[PFC <lists@boutiquenumerique.com>]

	I've got Gentoo and this is installed :

   sys-fs/reiser4progs
       Latest version available: 1.0.4
       Latest version installed: 1.0.3

I believe the name of the tool has changed and is now resizefs.reiser4

A copy of the man page :

resizefs.reiser4(8)                              reiser4progs  
manual                              resizefs.reiser4(8)



NAME
        resizefs.reiser4 - the program for resize reiser4 filesystem.

SYNOPSIS
        resizefs.reiser4 [ options ] FILE size[K|M|G]

DESCRIPTION
        resizefs.reiser4 is reiser4 filesystem resize program.

COMMON OPTIONS
        -V, --version
               prints program version.

        -?, -h, --help
               prints program help.

        -y, --yes
               assumes an answer 'yes' to all questions.

        -f, --force
               forces resizefs to use whole disk, not block device or  
mounted partition.

        -c, --cache N
               sets  tree cache node number to passed value. This affects  
very much behavior of libreiser4. It affects
               speed, tree allocation, etc.

PLUGIN OPTIONS
        -p, --print-profile
               prints the plugin profile. This is the set of default  
plugins used for all parts  of  a  filesystem  --
               format,  nodes, files, directories, hashes, etc. If  
--override is specified, then prints modified plug-
               ins.

        -l, --print-plugins
               prints all plugins libreiser4 know about.

        -o, --override TYPE=PLUGIN, ...
               overrides the default plugin of the type "TYPE" by the  
plugin "PLUGIN" in the plugin profile.

               Examples:

               resizefs.reiser4 -qf -o nodeptr=nodeptr41,hash=rupasov_hash  
/dev/hda2 /dev/hda3
