10.6. Shrinking a drive link

Shrinking a drive link has the same restrictions as expanding a drive link. A drive link object can only be shrunk by removing sectors from the end of the drive link. This can be done in the following ways:

• By removing link objects from the end of the drive link.

• By shrinking the last storage object in the drive link.

The drive link plug-in attempts to orchestrate the shrinking of a drive-link storage object by only listing the last link object. If you select this object, the drive link plug-in then lists the next-to-last link object, and so forth, moving backward through the link objects to satisfy the shrink command.

If the shrink point is the last storage object in the drive link, then you shrink the drive link by interacting with the plug-in that produced the object.

There are no shrink options.
