Examples
"lvextend -L +54 /dev/vg01/lvol10 /dev/sdk3" tries to extend the size of that logical volume by 54MB on physical
volume /dev/sdk3. This is only possible if /dev/sdk3 is a member of volume group vg01 and there are enough free
physical extents in it.
"lvextend /dev/vg01/lvol01 /dev/sdk3" tries to extend the size of that logical volume by the amount of free space
on physical volume /dev/sdk3. This is equivalent to specifying "-l +100%PVS" on the command line.
"lvextend -L+16M vg01/lvol01 /dev/sda:8-9 /dev/sdb:8-9"
tries to extend a logical volume "vg01/lvol01" by 16MB using physical extents /dev/sda:8-9 and /dev/sdb:8-9 for
allocation of extents.

# resize2fs -h
resize2fs 1.42 (29-Nov-2011)
Usage: resize2fs [-d debug_flags] [-f] [-F] [-M] [-P] [-p] device [new_size]
DESCRIPTION
The resize2fs program will resize ext2, ext3, or ext4 file systems. It can be used to enlarge or shrink an
unmounted file system located on device. If the filesystem is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of the
mounted filesystem, assuming the kernel supports on-line resizing. (As of this writing, the Linux 2.6 kernel sup‐
ports on-line resize for filesystems mounted using ext3 and ext4.).
The resize2fs program does not manipulate the size of partitions. If you wish to enlarge a filesystem, you must
make sure you can expand the size of the underlying partition first. This can be done using fdisk(8) by deleting
the partition and recreating it with a larger size or using lvextend(8), if you're using the logical volume man‐
ager lvm(8). When recreating the partition, make sure you create it with the same starting disk cylinder as
before! Otherwise, the resize operation will certainly not work, and you may lose your entire filesystem. After
running fdisk(8), run resize2fs to resize the ext2 filesystem to use all of the space in the newly enlarged parti‐
tion.
If you wish to shrink an ext2 partition, first use resize2fs to shrink the size of filesystem. Then you may use
fdisk(8) to shrink the size of the partition. When shrinking the size of the partition, make sure you do not make
it smaller than the new size of the ext2 filesystem!

UUID=<uuid> specifies device by filesystem UUID
<device> specifies device by path
<directory> mountpoint for bind mounts (see --bind/rbind)
<file> regular file for loopdev setup
Operations:
-B, --bind mount a subtree somewhere else (same as -o bind)
-M, --move move a subtree to some other place
-R, --rbind mount a subtree and all submounts somewhere else
--make-shared mark a subtree as shared
