Hi Robert:
Thanks for the input. I was at older ideas that shrinking a volume is a
dangerous move.
it still is, to some extent: if for whatever reason a resizing is aborted
midway (e.g. a power outage, an unrelated kernel panic...) all the contents
of the filesystem being resized are lost. Since these are hopefully
unlikely events, it's a remote possibility, but a catastrophic one.
Do make sure to have up to date backups before resizing a filesystem
containing important data. And restrain your dog from playing with the
power cord while resizing :)
Ciao
Giacomo
