45 is the name of the filesystem to be resized, and
47 is the desired new filesystem size, in sectors.
52 will default to the current size of the partition containing the filesystem
55 When growing, the partition must be large enough to contain a filesystem
56 of the specified size; when shrinking,
60 the segments that will be invalid when the filesystem is shrunk.
61 If this cleaning process results in these segments becoming redirtied,
62 this indicates that the given new size is not large enough to contain the
63 existing filesystem data, and
