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.)
