+<title>Adjust the size of a filesystem</title>
+
+  <p>A filesystem can be grown to make use of the free space after its
+     partition. Often this is even possible while the filesystem is
+     mounted.</p>
+  <p>To make space for another partition after the filesystem, it can be
+     shrunk according to the free space within it.</p>
+  <p>Not all filesystems have resize support.</p>
+  <p>The partition size will be changed together with the filesystem size.
+     It is also possible to resize a partition without a filesystem in the
+     same way.</p>
+
+<steps>
+  <title>Resize a filesystem/partition</title>
+  <item>
+    <p>Open <app>Disks</app> from the <gui>Activities</gui> overview.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <p>Select the disk containing the filesystem in question from the list
+       of storage devices on the left. If there is more than one volume on
+       the disk, select the volume which contains the filesystem.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <p>In the toolbar underneath the <gui>Volumes</gui> section, click the
+       menu button. Then click <gui>Resize Filesystem…</gui> or
+       <gui>Resize…</gui> if there is no filesystem.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <p>A dialog will open where the new size can be chosen. The filesystem will
+       be mounted to calculate the minimum size by the amount of current
+       content. If shrinking is not supported the minimum size is the current
+       size. Leave enough space within the filesystem when shrinking to ensure
+       that it can work fast and reliably.</p>
+    <p>Depending on how much data has to be moved from the shrunk part, the
+       filesystem resize may take longer time.</p>
+    <note style="warning">
+      <p>The filesystem resize automatically involves
+         <link xref="disk-repair">repairing</link> of the filesystem. Therefore
+         it is advised to back up important data before starting. The action
+         must not be stopped or it will result in a damaged filesystem.</p>
+    </note>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+      <p>Confirm to start the action by clicking
+         <gui style="button">Resize</gui>.</p>
+   <p>The action will unmount the filesystem if resizing a mounted filesystem
+      is not supported. Be patient while the filesystem is resized.</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <p>After completion of the needed resize and repair actions the filesystem
+       is ready to be used again.</p>
+  </item>
