Check this out: 1) fatresize info (-i) shows 4.1GB FAT filesystem clone# fatresize -i /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) FAT: fat32 Size: 4195352576 Min size: 536870912 Max size: 200048565760 2)Set the new size smaller to 3501MiB with –q (quiet aka quite in man pages) clone# fatresize -q -s 3501Mi /dev/sda2 3)Check info and note that size is unchanged (WTF!) clone# fatresize -i /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) FAT: fat32 Size: 4195352576 Min size: 536870912 Max size: 200048565760 4)Set the size again without the –q argument and recheck the info clone# fatresize -s 3501Mi /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) clone# fatresize -i /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) FAT: fat32 Size: 4195352576 Min size: 536870912 Max size: 200048565760 5)Blast it! WTF is going on. Try without –q using a different size clone# fatresize -s 3001Mi /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) clone# fatresize -i /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) FAT: fat32 Size: 3102092800 Min size: 536870912 Max size: 200048565760 6)Huh? Set the size back to original without –q clone# fatresize -s 4001Mi /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) clone# fatresize -i /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) FAT: fat32 Size: 4198498304 Min size: 536870912 Max size: 200048565760 7)Ok that worked now repeat original problem. clone# fatresize -q -s 3501Mi /dev/sda2 clone# fatresize -i /dev/sda2 fatresize 1.0.2 (04/18/10) FAT: fat32 Size: 4198498304 Min size: 536870912 Max size: 200048565760 8)Holy crap. –q seems to introduce some weird behavior.
