Subject: How long will a shrinkfs take?

Hi

I have a 1Tb reiserfs that I want to shrink to 500Gb
400Gb of data is used.

Any estimates as to how long this will take?
Sustained I/O is about 33Mb/s at the fs level, 44 Mb/s at the lv level 
and 65Mb/s at the md0 level.

(I didn't expect the fs to be so slow so I'm going to try a few tuning 
params on the new 500Gb space before copying over the data and growing 
back to a Tb)

Is it proportional to the amount of shrinkage (ie 2 hrs to reduce by 
50G, 20 hrs to reduce by 500Gb)

David
