Hi,

I have a question about shrinking the size of a software RAID (LSM) filesystem. When I try to execute the command at the prompt I get the error 'Can not shrink this volume because file system is mounted'. Off course this error is correct and I want to shrink this particular file system. I wonder if it is possible to dismount the filesystem, shrink the volume and mount the filesystem again without loosing any data on this filesystem? Can anyone help, for the official documentation doesn't give a clear answer on this isue.

Thanks in advance..
