Thank you. 

but the fstrim can used with in mount partition...But I wanted to as 
cloud admin... 
I have a few uses with high volume size (ie capacity) allotted, but 
only used 5% of the capacity. so I wanted to reduce the size to 10% of 
size using the rbd resize command. But in this process, if a 
customer's volume has more than 10% data, then I may end-up with data 
lost... 

Thanks 
Swami
