But that requires the ability to expand/shrink the filesystem that is on the LV. Several years ago, XFS could expand but did not have an easy way to shrink its filesystem, i.e. the solution was backup, shrink, reformat, and restore. Has that changed? I'm hoping for a "yes," but a quick Google search has not been fruitful. Granted, that's a very specific use case, but one that was important to a few clients that I had worked with. For those clients, ext4 provided a "good enough" solution. Regards, - Robert
