> Now, if I want to use the same computer in Windows and in another operating system, e.g. Linux or FreeBSD, I install Windows on the internal SSD I'm not sure I've ever seen any server which had dualboot of this sort - meaning production systems, not tests/homelabs of course. Usually it's either Linux either Windows, and never FreeBSD (it's dead basically, over last 15 years at least). That sounds more like desktop/laptop usage case, where experimenting can happen and planning is out of equation, cuz it's well, experimenting. > I do not see the connection between shrinking and migrations. You may think on "changes" as more wider term in addition to migrations - be it changing underlying drives under DB partition or need to free some space on in VG and LV to be able to use LVM snapshots (a looooooot of systems I see allocate all the space in VG at once and then cannot use snapshots because there is literally no space available) or some webhosting like cPanel/Plesk managed need more/less space for /var/{mail,you_name_it} and so on. Again, there could be more reallife stories with XFS, but well it was not an option in many cases in the past. Nowdays, at least in my bubble, it's usually something clustered and you can do migration/changes on node-by-node basis and downtime window is avoided on another level, not by FS means. |
