Initially I set up a dynamically expanding VHDX under Hyper-V that was about 6 TB and then installed Ubuntu Server 20.04 using LVM on it. I've since managed to shrink the installed Ubuntu Server down to 155 GB, but the dynamically expanding VHDX still has a capacity of 6 TB. I want to move this to a drive that has nowhere near 6 TB. I think it might work anyway since the Ubuntu Server can't go bigger than 155 GB, but I'd like to VHDX to reflect maybe 200 or 250 GB max. I can't figure out how to shrink it though without killing the installed Ubuntu Server. If I remove all checkpoints and just go into editing the VHDX via Hyper-V and shrink it that way, it somehow causes an issue and the Ubuntu Server won't load up afterwards. I must be missing a step here...any help is greatly appreciated!!
