OK, thanks. I understand why reducing is much harder than extending. I was just hoping there was a magic wand. So what is the best way of reducing the size of an ext3 filesystem then? Mount the disk on another Linux system and copy to a new, smaller filesystem? Or can this be done on the Linux system itself? Where can I find some information on the steps to go about doing this, as I'm no Linux guru?
