So I wanted to see what all the shouting was about.  Installed
Windows 11 for Workstations in a virt, and gave the virt access
to /dev/sda, which is a 1TB iSCSI instance on my machine.

Created a ReFS partition on it.  After fiddling around with it a while,
I tried to resize the filesystem.  Disk Manager said "the volume
cannot be shrunk because the file system does not support it".

ext4 filesystems can be resized, and are suitable for workstation
applications.  A major reason I went with the "Workstation"
Windows was to evaluate ReFS, and so far, I'm not impressed.

RESIZE2FS(8)        System Manager's Manual        RESIZE2FS(8)

NAME
       resize2fs - ext2/ext3/ext4 file system resizer

SYNOPSIS
       resize2fs  [  -fFpPMbs  ]  [ -d debug-flags ] [ -S RAID-
       stride ] [ -z undo_file ] device [ 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  file
       system  is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of
       the mounted file system, assuming  the  kernel  and  the
       file  system  supports  on-line resizing.  (Modern Linux
       2.6 kernels will support on-line resize for file systems
       mounted  using ext3 and ext4; ext3 file systems will re‐
       quire the use of file systems with the resize_inode fea‐
       ture enabled.)
