Hi,
Yes, you should make sure the filesystem and partitions are within the
to be set new boundaries.
Once that's done you can shrink the volume.
I would recommend:
- Shrink EXT4 + Partitions to 59GB
- Shrink volume to 60GB
- Grow EXT4 + Partitions to 60GB
The step to 59GB is to prevent that by calc mistake you chip off the
last portion of your filesystem.

Hi Guys
Anyone willing to assist me with a quick one. What's the best and
recommended way to shrink a VM volume via UI? The VM volume was first 60
GB, we then expended it to 120 GB and increased it in the VM via parted.
I now want to take it back to 60GB. How do I proceed? Do I first shrink
the ext4 in the VM first then proceed to shrink the volume in Cloudstack
UI by selecting also the "Shrink OK" option? Detailed steps would be
appreciated, please.
