Ok, heres a thought; Resizing filesystems is a risky operation, by and large, especially shrinking them. So I had the thought; Take a snapshot of the filesystem to shrink, use fs tools and lvm tools to shrink it, if it goes wrong, restore the snapshot! Will it work tho? I'm wondering it lvreduce will get confused about the snapshot or if the snapshot system will cope with such a huge change... _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
