Last updated: 11 Aug, 2011

    DSS V6 does not give user possibility to shrink logical volumes. XFS filesystem
does not support shrinking at all, while with others there is too high risk of
losing the data.
    The only option to downsize LV is to BACKUP THE DATA, remove LV and create new
smaller one.
