Filesystem Shrink/Copy Questions
I have a filesystem that i would like to skrink down to reclaim some unused storage. I took the filesystem that i want to shrink and made a checkpoint to copy over. I created a new file system that is a couple of GB larger then the size of data. I also made sure this was read only. When i try and copy to an existing filesystem i get this message: The system could not find a read-only file system on the destination side that is the same size and file-level retention setting as the source file system. I can't seem to get around this. Can anyone tell me the correct way to do this?
Thanks!

Yeah, that sounds about right. Do you know where i can view a guide on how to use those commands over ssh?

How are you trying to copy the data ? Look at server_achive command or ndmpcopy

I am just using the copy button of the Celerra Managment GUI.

I believe that’s using nas_copy command in the background where source and target file systems have to be identical size.
