Expanding most filesystems is a lot easier than trying to shrink them. There was an extensive thread on the XFS mailing list a couple of years ago. It was quite informative. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=99535721111725&w=2 There is a utility that some people have used sucessfully to shrink volumes; not sure if it will work for you - its been years since I've had to worry about this. http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-parted/2002-January/thread.html Adrian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
