My reading of parse_num_blocks() shows that 'T' is also accepted as a suffix for terabytes, which I was otherwise going to suggest be added, since this is the normal size for filesystems today. It might be worthwhile _briefly_ mentioning here that these are binary/power-of-two values and not decimal values, instead of the rant further below. Minor technical nit - the proper metric value is lower-case 'k' for kilo, though the upper-case 'M', 'G', and 'T' are correct for mega-, giga-, and terabytes. > diff --git a/resize/resize2fs.8.in b/resize/resize2fs.8.in > --- a/resize/resize2fs.8.in > +++ b/resize/resize2fs.8.in > @@ -38,13 +38,13 @@ The > +designators: 'b', 's', 'K', 'M', or 'G', > +for blocks count, 512 byte sectors, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, > +respectively. The Similarly, this also supports 'T' for terabytes, since it uses the same parse_num_blocks() function.
