Occasionally useful, sure, but crucial, no.
Without meaning to be rude, what in the world are you using
"Enterprise-class" file systems and volume managers on systems that
don't have enough disk space such that you are forced to shrink
volumes? Alternatively, who in the world is managing and enterprise
server that they didn't plan volume sizes appropriately?
If you're just playing around with it at home, then, well, NO feature
other than "it works" is really "crucial" IMNSHO.
