Hi, i have a lv which has a snapshot. Size of the snapshot was too big while creating. So I'd like now to reduce the size of the snapshot for being able to create a second one. man lvreduce says: Shrinking snapshot logical volumes (...) is supported as well. Ok, that's fine. But normally, before shrinking a lv, the file system has to be reduced. But does the snapshot have a fs ? I never ran a mkfs.xxxx on it. Can I just reduce the size without doing anything before ? Or do I have to provide a -r to lvreduce ? Thanks for any information.
