Google Summer of Code Project with openSUSE (Still in Development )
To build a standalone Application/tool called Size Dog that can perform Automatic resizing of File system and Logical Volumes.

HOW TO USE THE TOOL:
sizedog -h will give the help options and will have all details regarding using it.
usage: sizedog.py [-h] [-r] [--volume VOLUME] [--size SIZE] [--unit {M,G,T,m,g,t}] [-c] [-v] [-a]
optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit
-r, --resize Input the volume and size by which you want to increase the volume
--volume VOLUME Name of the volume along with its path to be increased
--size SIZE Size by which a volume is to be incresed only in Mega Byte [M], Giga Byte [G], Tera Byte[T]
--unit {M,G,T,m,g,t} Units of size use as main.py -r /dev/testlv/lv1 1 G
-c, --config Build Config File Manually
-v Add volumes to Config File Manually
-a Automatic increase size of volumes
