Remove disks when XFS files systems are used

paulhe · 09-18-2016, 02:25 AM

Hi ,
I am new on this forum.
I am working with SUSE enterprise 11 edition. I have an XFS file system spread over 6 physical disks. The disk space/file system is to big and I want to remove one or two disks. Shrinking a XFS file system is not possible. Any idea how I can tackle this problem?

Thanks a lot for your help

Backup, fix the filesystem, restore.
One of the reasons I don't use XFS.
