At present it can be used to shrink a -defragmented NTFS filesystem located on an unmounted -.I device -(usually a disk partition). The new volume will have -.I size -bytes. -The -.I size -parameter may have one of the optional modifiers -\fBK\fR, \fBM\fR, \fBG\fR, which means the -.I size -parameter is given in kilo-, mega- or gigabytes respectively. -.PP -The -.B ntfsresize -program does not manipulate the size of partitions. -If you wish to shrink an NTFS partition, first use -.B ntfsresize -to shrink the size of the filesystem. Then you may use -.BR fdisk (8) -to shrink the size of the partition by deleting the -partition and recreating it with the smaller size. When -recreating the partition, make sure you create it with the same starting -disk cylinder as before and you do not make it smaller than the new size -of the NTFS filesystem! Otherwise you may lose your entire filesystem. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B -f -Forces ntfsresize to proceed with the filesystem resize operation, overriding -some safety checks which -.B ntfsresize -normally enforces. You can use this -parameter multiply times if you want to overcome every single safety checks. -.TP -.B -h -Display help and exit. -.TP -.B -i -Using this option you can calculate the smallest shrinked volume size supported. -This option will not make any changes to the filesystem. -.TP -.B -n -You can use this option to make a test run before doing the real resize operation. -Volume will be opened read-only and -.B ntfsresize -displays what it would do if it were to resize the filesystem. -.TP -.B -c \fIclusters -Shrink volume to size given in NTFS -.I clusters\fR. -.TP -.B -s \fIsize\fR[\fBK\fR|\fBM\fR|\fBG\fR] -Shrink volume to \fIsize\fR[\fBK\fR|\fBM\fR|\fBG\fR] bytes. -The optional modifiers \fBK\fR, \fBM\fR, \fBG\fR mean the -.I size -parameter is given in kilo-, mega- or gigabytes respectively. -.SH BUGS -No bugs are known or has been reported in the supported functionality. -If you find otherwise, please report it to -(no subscription needed). It's also strongly adviced you -.B MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUP -of your important data in case of an unexpected failure. -.PP -Future work is planned to include support for volume enlargement -and resizing fragmented NTFS volumes. -Please note, Windows 2000 and XP have built in NTFS defragmenter. -.SH AVAILABILITY -.B ntfsresize -is part of the linux-ntfs package and is available from -http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ as source and pre-compiled binary. -.SH AUTHOR -.B ntfsresize -has been written by -Szabolcs Szakacsits . -.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENT -Many thanks to Anton Altaparmakov and Richard Russon (FlatCap) -for libntfs, excellent documentation, comments, testing and fixes, -moreover to Theodore Ts'o whose -.BR resize2fs (8) -man page formed the basis of this page. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR fdisk (8), -.BR cfdisk (8), -.BR sfdisk (8), -.BR parted (8), -.BR mkntfs (8)
