@lewdthewides @LukeAlmighty @pomstan Yes, but it's 4 at minimum and it splits the files into chunks between the drives which makes it quite resource heavy

@applejack Technically nothing broke. I just underestimated how long it would take by a factor of around 100x

@r000t I wanted to shrink and move a 10tb partition several times while moving the files from it to a new one on the same drive.
I was running out of space and haven't setup lvm beforehand

@applejack Because I thought shrinking and moving a 10tb partition was a smart idea

@sjw @matrix I'm not moving off Minio. I'm just moving Minio to LVM.
I have to do it piece by piece. Shrinking the current partition, expanding lvm and copying a bit and so on.

I immediately hit an error. Does this mean i need more than 300mb of memory to shrink a 10tb ext4 partition?

I'm going to finally do it. I'm going to turn off Minio and finally setup LVM, which means media won't work for at least a day, maybe more.

@sjw Thankfully I noticed. If I had hadn't or went away I could have easily deleted basically all Mastodon media
