Hi Team,

You might already have come across this stuff many a times.

I am sending this query as to why LVM is not supporting online shrink.
How is that AIX can do the shrink but not in our best Linux.

Is there a big difference i the underlying architecture which prevents us from
an online shrink?


You are asking this question on a wrong mailing list.

LVM2 of course does fully support online device shrink.

The other side of story is - there is no filesystem I'd know about which
would be supporting online shrinking.  The fact is - it's pretty hard

Except for btrfs - which on the other hand doesn't need  lvm2.
So if you need something shrinkable online - try to go with btrfs.
