Ideally I would like to "steal" 2 Gig or so from the xfs partition, and add
it to the swap space.  XFS partition has about 60 Gig or so of data on it,
so it is pretty empty, but is too big to comfortably back-up.


This is a FAQ entry, you cannot shrink an xfs partition in any way, however you can grow them. To "steal" 2 gig from the xfs partition would require a complete dump, repartition, restore operation.

The FAQ is available from http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs
