📝 scripts/management/lxc-shrink-lv.sh

A bash script to safely shrink the disk size of LXC containers in Proxmox VE. It handles:

• 🛑 Stopping the container if running
• 💾 Creating optional LVM snapshots before shrinking
• ✅ Running filesystem checks (e2fsck)
• 📏 Resizing the filesystem (resize2fs)
• 🔧 Reducing the logical volume (lvreduce)
• 🗂 Updating the container configuration in /etc/pve/lxc/<CTID>.conf
• ▶️ Starting the container after completion
• 📦 Maintaining backups and snapshot info

Warning

Works with ext2/3/4 filesystems. XFS or other filesystems require different procedures.

• 🛑 Adding serial port to the VM
• 💾 Optionally updating the guest OS:
