You cannot shrink/reduce the size of a GFS file system.

If I'm using one LVM device, export it using GNDB, and format using GFS
(1 or 2).... I will can add or remove some GB on this filesystem?

Thanks

Gary,


You are right about reducing/shrinking a GFS filesystem.

Tiago also asked about expanding/growing, for GFS(2) this can be done 
with gfs(2)_grow. Both commands run only on mounted file systems.


Kind regards,


Jan Gerrit Kootstra
