I know I can increase the size of file system and LV in one go using lvresize -r but is it safe to use the sam approach to reduce a LV file system ?
here is the man page of -r
-r, --resizefs
Resize underlying file system together with the logical volume using fsadm(8).
I would thought it should be safe if file system gets reduce first.
Thanks

@Bernd Hi there, I did some testing myself, resize2fs is called before the LV is reduced but there is a minimum requirement, if the new size is less than minimum, the resize will just fail.

Do you find the solution?
from XFS FAQ, RedHat and CentOS QA.
You can't shrink xfs.
The only way to do this is to backup your data, create another smaller LV...
