Grow:
lvextend -L+100G /dev/hdd1/slash
lvextend -L+100G /dev/hdd2/slash
btrfs fi resize 1:max /
btrfs fi resize 2:max /
Shrink:
btrfs fi res 1:-20G /
btrfs fi res 2:-20G /
lvreduce -L-20G /dev/hdd1/slash
lvreduce -L-20G /dev/hdd2/slash
- This assumes each disk is an independent volume group as far as LVM is concerned. This is probably the only sane way to have BTRFS RAID on LVM anyway.
- It is critically important to specify each device separately - i.e.
1: and then separately 2:. You must add more commands if you have more than 2 devices. The (terrible) default is to alter device 1 only. - I have verified that the units are equivalent - i.e. what btrfs calls 1G is exactly the same number of bytes as what lvreduce calls 1G.
btrfs fi res is synchronous, no need to wait between commands- All of this must (not just can, but must) be done online with the filesystem mounted
