Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-04-23 13:23:43 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently you can only expand a filesystem to match an expanded
partition or LV.  It should be possible also to shrink a filesystem,
but you cannot do that with the current guestfs_resize2fs call
because you need to specify the reduced size.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libguestfs 1.3.6
