I have an XFS filesystem on a 50 GB disk that "thinks" that it's a 170
GB filesystem due to weirdness with a hot swap drive bay at a remote
site where data was collected. When I try to mount this FS I get
"filesystem too large for device."
I'm making an image of the FS onto a second disk for backup purposes and
may take a stab at it with xfs_db. Does anybody know how to "truncate"
the filesystem to fit the size of the device?
The next thing I might try is to dump the image onto a 170 GB disk and
see if xfs_repair can do something with it.
Thanks,
