On the AIX systems I manage, under JFS2, IBM's LVM tool can and will shrink the filesystems while online. I believe that it's written to do so as long as the amount of space you wish to remove is actually free. On the other hand, I always check those filesystems to make sure that the requisite amount of space is free prior to shrinking the filesystem. Better to be safe than sorry. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
