- mananaysiempre 4y agoUnfortunately, as best as I can tell you can’t shrink an XFS volume other than by completely rewriting it. (Also mkfs.xfs formats with Y2038-susceptible 32-bit timestamps by default, but that can be overriden.)
- chasil 4y agoRedHat 8 and clones began creating safe XFS timestamps in their installers. I think they are safe with this version: XFS (sda1): Mounting V5 Filesystem
- chasil 4y agoAs far as that goes, Oracle prohibits the installation of their database on btrfs (note 2290489.1: "Oracle DB has specifically said that they do not support using BTRFS filesystems... BTRFS is optimized for non-database workloads."). XFS for databases is what is used on tpc.org, but perhaps these new improvements may help.
