 Resize a filesystem identified by \fI<path>\fR.
 The \fI<size>\fR parameter specifies the new size of the filesystem.
+To change size of only one device the device id can be specified before \fI:\fR.
+Device identifiers are printed by \fBfilesystem show\fR command.
 If the prefix \fI+\fR or \fI\-\fR is present the size is increased or decreased
 by the quantity \fI<size>\fR.
 If no units are specified, the unit of the \fI<size>\fR parameter defaults to
