It has been running fine for about a year. File system is XFS. Here is some info on it.... .... uhmm... you did resize the filesystem to be smaller before you resized the array to be smaller ... didn't you? Because if you didn't you have probably just lost 1/3 of your data. That is the whole point of having to set the array-size first. You then make sure your data is still safe before performing the irreversible reshape. If you did reshape the XFS filesystem first, then something else must be wrong.
