Topic: Cannot Resize XFS Partition

Standard openSUSE Factory install, home is XFS. I want to over provision my SSD by shrinking XFS home partition by 10GB. I am unable to resize, no click & drag & size field defaults to same size despite populating with desired volume. I am using latest live USB installed via Tuxboot. Any thoughts?

Re: Cannot Resize XFS Partition

According to the GParted help page (Features), you can't directly shrink a XFS filesystem.

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***

Re: Cannot Resize XFS Partition

Thx. As long a drive not crammed to gills, should be OK;
