Please contact me off list with replies. I have a server hosted on Amazon that has 750Gb allocated to it, and I don't need that much space and I'd like to cut it back to cut costs. Whenever I read about EBS they give examples about to increase the size, but I could not find anything about reducing the size. For example here is a page that shows the expand process https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-ebs-update-new-elastic-volumes-chang... So my question - anyone here ever successfully *reduced* an elastic volume on a production server? Is it a "smart" process that knows to adjust the hard drive volume? How does it work? Does it ask you which partition to shave down, should you unallocate the space first then do the volume reduction, etc? Please contact me off list with replies. Bill
