Hi,
i have a lv which has a snapshot. Size of the snapshot was too big while
creating. So I'd like now to reduce the size of the snapshot for being able to
create a second one. man lvreduce says: Shrinking snapshot logical volumes
(...) is supported as well. Ok, that's fine. But normally, before shrinking a lv,
the file system has to be reduced. But does the snapshot have a fs ? I never
ran a mkfs.xxxx on it. Can I just reduce the size without doing anything
before ? Or do I have to provide a -r to lvreduce ?
Thanks for any information.

I managed to reduce the snapshot without doing anything before with the filesystem.
