Re: resizing ext3.



I am using ext3 and when I type df it shows:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7                15522      2616     12105  18% /boot
none                     63380         0     63380   0% /dev/shm

/dev/hdb1               530132    469324     60808  89% /mnt/remove
/dev/hda5              2020180   1892432    127748  94% /mnt/dgi
/dev/hda6              1429753   1244291    185462  88% /mnt/ntfs

how do I know the free size of an ext3 fs?
