Could some anon kindly explain why XFS partitions cannot be shrunk? Also, I have seen warnings in partition managers that shrinking has a risk of data loss, even using filesystems like ext4 or FAT32. Why is this? Can't the data be "shuffled" between the disk and memory, no matter how full the partition is, ensuring a safe copy is kept before deletion of the original copy?
