|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl Ny
|
|
.Op Fl s Ar size
|
|
.Ar special | filesystem
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility makes it possible to expand an UFS file system.
|
|
Before running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
the partition or slice containing the file system must be extended using
|
|
.Xr gpart 8 .
|
|
If you are using volumes you must enlarge them by using
|
|
.Xr gvinum 8 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility extends the size of the file system on the specified special file.
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
.Dq Test mode .
|
|
Causes the new file system parameters to be printed out without actually
|
|
enlarging the file system.
|
|
.It Fl y
|
|
.Dq Expert mode .
|
|
Usually
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will ask you if you took a backup of your data before and will do some tests
|
|
whether
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
is currently mounted or whether there are any active snapshots on the file
|
|
system specified.
|
|
This will be suppressed.
|
|
So use this option with great care!
|
|
.It Fl s Ar size
|
|
Determines the
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
of the file system after enlarging in sectors.
|
|
.Ar Size
|
|
is the number of 512 byte sectors unless suffixed with a
|
|
.Cm b , k , m , g ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm t
|
|
which
|
|
denotes byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte and terabyte respectively.
|
|
This value defaults to the size of the raw partition specified in
|
|
.Ar special
|
|
(in other words,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will enlarge the file system to the size of the entire partition).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Dl growfs -s 2G /dev/ada0p1
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will enlarge
|
|
.Pa /dev/ada0p1
|
|
up to 2GB if there is enough space in
|
|
.Pa /dev/ada0p1 .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 4.4 .
|
|
The ability to resize mounted filesystems was added in
|
|
.Fx 10.0 .

|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
When expanding a file system mounted read-write, any writes to that file system
|
|
will be temporarily suspended until the expansion is finished.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Normally
|
|
.Nm
|
|
writes cylinder group summary to disk and reads it again later for doing more
|
|
updates.
|
|
This read operation will provide unexpected data when using
|
|
.Fl N .
|
|
Therefore, this part cannot really be simulated and will be skipped in test
|
|
mode.
