.SH DESCRIPTION
lvresize allows you to resize a logical volume.
Be careful when reducing a logical volume's size, because data in the reduced
@@ -21,74 +23,73 @@ part is lost!!!
You should therefore ensure that any filesystem on the volume is
shrunk first so that the extents that are to be removed are not in use.
Resizing snapshot logical volumes (see
-.B lvcreate(8)
+.BR lvcreate (8)
for information about creating snapshots) is supported as well.
But to change the number of copies in a mirrored logical
volume use
.BR lvconvert (8).
.SH OPTIONS
-See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
+See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options.
.TP
-.I \-f, \-\-force
+.BR \-f ", " \-\-force
Force resize without prompting even when it may cause data loss.
.TP
-.I \-l, \-\-extents [+|-]LogicalExtentsNumber[%{VG|LV|PVS|FREE|ORIGIN}]
-Change or set the logical volume size in units of logical extents.
-With the + or - sign the value is added to or subtracted from the actual size
-of the logical volume and without it, the value is taken as an absolute one.
-The number can also be expressed as a percentage of the total space
-in the Volume Group with the suffix %VG, relative to the existing
-size of the Logical Volume with the suffix %LV, as a percentage of
-the remaining free space of the PhysicalVolumes on the command line with the
-suffix %PVS, as a percentage of the remaining free space in the
-Volume Group with the suffix %FREE, or (for a snapshot) as a percentage
-of the total space in the Origin Logical Volume with the suffix %ORIGIN.
-.TP
-.I \-n, \-\-nofsck
+.BR \-n ", " \-\-nofsck
Do not perform fsck before resizing filesystem when filesystem
requires it. You may need to use \fB--force\fR to proceed with
this option.
.TP
-.I \-\-noudevsync
-Disable udev synchronisation. The
-process will not wait for notification from udev.
-It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing
-in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running
-or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.
-.TP
-.I \-r, \-\-resizefs
+.BR \-r ", " \-\-resizefs
Resize underlying filesystem together with the logical volume using
\fBfsadm\fR(8).

+.IR \fB\-l ", " \fB\-\-extents " [" + | - ] LogicalExtentsNumber [ % { VG | LV | PVS | FREE | ORIGIN }]
+Change or set the logical volume size in units of logical extents.
+With the \fI+\fP or \fI-\fP sign the value is added to or subtracted from the actual size
+of the logical volume and without it, the value is taken as an absolute one.
+The number can also be expressed as a percentage of the total space

+the remaining free space of the PhysicalVolumes on the command line with the

+Volume Group with the suffix \fI%FREE\fP, or (for a snapshot) as a percentage

Change or set the logical volume size in units of megabytes.
-A size suffix of M for megabytes,
-G for gigabytes, T for terabytes, P for petabytes
-or E for exabytes is optional.
-With the + or - sign the value is added to or subtracted from
+A size suffix of \fIM\fP for megabytes,
+\fIG\fP for gigabytes, \fIT\fP for terabytes, \fIP\fP for petabytes
+or \fIE\fP for exabytes is optional.
+With the \fI+\fP or \fI-\fP sign the value is added to or subtracted from
the actual size of the logical volume and without it, the value is taken as an
absolute one.
.TP
-.I \-i, \-\-stripes Stripes
+.BR \-i ", " \-\-stripes " " \fIStripes
Gives the number of stripes to use when extending a Logical Volume.
Defaults to whatever the last segment of the Logical Volume uses.
Not applicable to LVs using the original metadata LVM format, which must
use a single value throughout.
.TP

Gives the number of kilobytes for the granularity of the stripes.

Not applicable to LVs using the original metadata LVM format, which
must use a single value throughout.
