topic Can't Shrink a Volume in ONTAP Discussions https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Can-t-Shrink-a-Volume/m-p/145586#M32342 <P>Hello,</P> <P>I've run across an odd problem. I cannot shrink a volume down to 5TB. It is currently at 5.11TB. When I run the resize wizard in System Manager, it acts like it will resize the volume to 5TB, but it stays at 5.11. Same on the command line - it says it's successful but it stays at 5.11. A few settings are listed below that might be relevant. These are the same settings as other volumes where I've had no issues with reducing the volume in size. Any ideas?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>No snapshot reserve</P> <P>Autogrow turned on (Grow only, not Grow and Shrink)</P> <P>Volume is 5.11 TB with 828.71 GB of free space and 1.34 TB of efficiency savings</P> <P>Volume is on an AFF system</P> <P>OnTAP 9.2P4</P> Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:59:45 GMT TMADOCTHOMAS 2025-06-04T12:59:45Z Can't Shrink a Volume https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Can-t-Shrink-a-Volume/m-p/145586#M32342 <P>Hello,</P> <P>I've run across an odd problem.
