Hi Alan, Neither GFS or GFS2 volumes cannot be shrunk. Eventually I need to start working on a gfs2_shrink tool for gfs2, but I don't think GFS will ever be able to shrink. As for growing, it sounds like you're already familiar with that. You just do something like: lvresize or lvextend the logical volume mount the gfs volume to a mount point gfs_grow /your/mount/point It's probably safest to do gfs_grow when there is not a lot of system activity. For example, at night when the system is not being beat up by lots of I/O.
