Yes.
But the much safer way is:
Backup, make a new filesystem on the previous backing-device & Restore
from backup.
The unsafe(!) 'inplace' method (that as an advantage doesn't need
additional storage):
Just open the container normally, 'dd' the mapped container over the
backing device and pray that process isn't interruped. Because it will
be a huge PITA if it gets interruped.
But don't risk it, Backup & Restore is the way this should be done.
