Correct, XFS filesystems cannot be shrunk (reduced) dynamically, like
ext2/3/4 can, only grown. You need to create another, smaller
filesystem (XFS too usually) then copy the existing content which can be
done with tools like xfsdump & xfsrestore (iff both are XFS), rsync, pax
(spax), or tar,
Hi,
XFS filesystems cannot be shrunk. If you need to shrink an XFS file system,
then you have to backup the data, delete the entire filesystem, resize the
volume in LVM, then create a new filesystem and restore the data from
backup.

Okay, I'll try that next.

Yeah, I tried that but ran into a problem. It came up fine in

I'm having some difficulty finding a method to shrink my /home to expand
my /. They both correspond to LVMs. It is my understanding that one
cannot shrink a xfs filesystem. One must back it up (xfsdump), remove
(lvremove) redefine it and then restore it back (xfsrestore).
Okay, I'm running
