Where did you find that Reiser3 did not support shrinking? Unfortunately shrinking online is not supported, but offline shrinking is definately supported. Just look at resize_reiserfs(8). The man page is wrong it does support online growing quite well. The other good news about resize_reiserfs(8) is that the K|M|G mean the same as the K|M|G in LVM. So you can say resize_reiserfs -s -1G /dev/to/resize, then lvreduce -L -1G vgname/lvol. I haven't tested, but the same should be true for pvresize as well. JFS does only support growing. XFS only supports growing for now. There was a patch submitted back in September to the mailing list. It's current status is unknown to me. Hope that helps a little, Zac Slade _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
