Unfortunately, no. XFS does not support shrinking. Only growing the
filesystem is supported.
Technically, I guess it would be possible to write something which
would migrate data to the first allocation groups of the fs and chop
off/truncate the allocation group(s) at the end. It's just that
nobody has done it yet :)
