Hello Hugo,
thanks for your ultrafast reply.
Unfortunately, it does not work for me:
[root@homeserver mnt2]# btrfs filesystem resize 80G /mnt2/Data_Store/ &&
btrfs replace start /dev/sdb4 /dev/sda4 /mnt2/Data_Store/ -f && btrfs
filesystem resize max /mnt2/Data_Store/
Resize '/mnt2/Data_Store/' of '80G'
ERROR: target device smaller than source device (required 119121379328
bytes)
[root@homeserver mnt2]# btrfs filesystem show /mnt2/Data_Store/
Label: 'Data_Store' uuid: 0ccc1e24-090d-42e2-9e61-d0a1b3101f93
Total devices 1 FS bytes used 47.95GiB
devid 1 size 80.00GiB used 66.03GiB path /dev/sdb4
[root@homeserver mnt2]# lsblk | grep sda4
└─sda4 8:4 0 103.5G 0 part
Greetings,
Hendrik
