No, he's saying that you don't *have* to resize the fs, but then all |
| 13 |
that happens is you have a (say) 60GB fs on a 100GB partition, wasting |
| 14 |
40GB of disk space. He also say it would be nice to have an fs that |
| 15 |
dynamically resizes itself if it finds it's not using all of the |
| 16 |
partition, but that's not the usual way it works (if at all). |

Hans-Werner's post is correct but also in convulted language with a |
| 19 |
triple negative. Your original understanding is correct. |
