=== Resize a btrfs filesystem/device ===
When resizing a filesystem, you also need to resize the partition(device) it is on. With '''gparted''' you cannot resize a partition that is mounted ! So you need to unmount it beforehand, or use a live-manjaro from USB to resize the partition and the filesystem.
When resizing existing filesystems it is strongly advisable to be im possession of actual backups. This said, resizing is easily possible when using '''gparted'''.
==== shrink ====
You must be aware, that you can shrink a filesystem only securely if it is ''not too full''. Shrinking a filesystem may take '''a long time''' because  btrfs needs to move all data that is located in the area to be freed, into the remaining area.
Using '''gparted''' is save to shrink a btrfs filesystem. It will take all necessary steps like:
* mount filesystem
* shrink filesystem
* umount filesystem
* shrink partition
==== expand ====
Using '''gparted''' is save to expand a btrfs filesystem. It will take all necessary steps like:
* expand partition
* mount filesystem
* expand filesystem
* umount filesystem
