Shrinking a file system

Hi managers,

Similar to the post the other day about extending file systems, has anybody seen any "gotchas" with shrinking advfs file systems ?

I've got a volume which is 200GB in size that I need to reduce in size. It currently only has 25GB used.
What I'm thinking of doing is reducing the size of the Vdisk on our EVA5000, from 200GB down to 50GB.

If I:

1. umount /mountpoint
2. Resize the vdisk.
3. disklabel -rw dskN
4. mount -o domain#fileset /mountpoint

Would this work... ?

Cheers,

Rob
