I must not have been clear. I am trying to resize the ext3 filesystem that
resides on the partition. I mean t to saw that I want to resize the
filesystem to 10gb so that it leaves free space in the partition. I then
plan on trying to use EVMS to manage that free space.
How do I properly specify a value to resize2fs? I've tried several
(reasonable?) values and I get rejected each time.
TIA!
