Sometimes it's not an availability decision... think about EMC,

We don't, AFAIK. Since the transition to GEOM, the offsets are
relative to the start of the containing provider.

movefs shouldn't be very difficult, but shrinkfs is more
complex, because you have to relocate files and metadata
within the filesystem. The shrink operation can fail if
there isn't enough space in t
