e2fsadm is obsolete.

The --resizefs option to lvextend/lvreduce/lvresize replaces it, but
this option isn't enabled yet because it needs people to test it first.

[To test it, get LVM2 from CVS and configure --enable-fsadm, reporting
findings to the linux-lvm mailing list.]

I would like to (politely :) suggest that

  a) --enable-fsadm be turned on in rawhide (if it isn't already)
  b) a new e2fsadm (or just fsadm) be added, simply for backwards
compatibility with lvm1 and HP-UX's LVM tools

On b), I'd be willing to write such a wrapper, if necessary.

The former HP-UX admins at a large company I used to work for (who I
believe is a RHEL customer) will miss it.

(a) Not until it's been tested properly.  Its purpose is to *reduce*
the risk of people making mistakes with resizing, not to add to the
risk of losing a filesystem:-)

(b) e2fsadm can be made an alias for 'lvresize -r' within lvm but I'm
reluctant to put the link in the filesystem as I find the name quite
misleading - it isn't part of the ext2 tools.  What does the name
mean?  ext2 filesystem administration?  Yet it's manipulating a
logical volume and only lets you change the size of the filesystem.
