You can't resize a mounted partition, so you can't resize the root file system while the installed copy of Linux is running. To resize it, you should use a LiveCD like GParted that contains a partition editor.

What is a superblock Linux?
Super block is supposed to be the first sector of any file system that can be mounted on Linux operating system. It is supposed to contain information about the entire file system in that partition. It has magic number to specify which file system is used in that partition and other parameters to help read/write to that file system.
What is block in Linux?
Block is a generic OS concept. Whenever OS wants to read data from the hard disk, file system tries to read a block of data instead of one character at a time. This improves the performance. (disk is a mechanical device) Size of the block varies for each file system, user can specify the block size when a file system is created on the device. Creating a file system on Linux is equivalent to formating a device on Windows. When you format a device on windows you can specify the block size. To create a file system on Linux mkfs command is used. The default block size is 4K but this can be modified with -b option. For eg. $ mkfs -t ext2 -b 2048 /dev/sdb1 this command will create ext2 file system on the device with block size 2048. There is a limitation imposed on maximum size of block by ex2/3/4 file system. Maximum block size should be 4K and minimum is 512 bytes.

6 Which file system is used by floppy disks?
Any file system can be used by a floppy disk, as long as the minimum partition size of the file system does not exceed the capacity of the floppy. FAT12 is the most common on Windows / MS-DOS computers. AFS was common on earlier Macs. ext was used among many Linux users. Floppy disks can use a variety of file systems. On MS-DOS and Windows computers, the primary file system for floppies is FAT12. On older Macs, the file system was HFS or MFS. Linux computers sometimes use ext.

How do you get the class file size in java?
You look at the file. A program such as Windows Explorer - or the equivalent in other operating systems - can tell you the size. Also, a command such as "dir" (in Windows), or "ls" (in Linux or Unix).
What is an inode number in Linux?
An inode is a data structure on a traditional Unix-style file system such as UFS or ext3. An inode stores basic information about a regular file, directory, or other file system object. Each and every file under Linux (and UNIX) has following attributes: * File type (executable, block special etc) * Permissions (read, write etc) * Owner * Group * File Size * File access, change and modification time * File deletion time * Number of links (soft/hard) * Access Control List (ACLs) All the above information is stored in an inode. So, each file has an inode associated with it and an unique number called inode number. This number is used to look up an entry in the inode table.
