hello everybody,
i need some space on disk for a second installation.
therefore i want to safely shrink my fedora installation.
here is the disk layout:
[...]
my question:
is there a safe way to shrink?
The only safe way to shrink is to have a backup. Shrink is I/O intensive and has
a much higher probability of revealing any weaknesses in hardware or software
than normal operations where weaknesses may remain undiscovered for a long
time. Also note that running a filesystem with too little free space slows down
file operations and also increases the probability that weaknesses will be revealed.
