[3] Although it's not possible to shrink an xfs file system directly, you can shrink it using GParted's copy functionality.
[4] Native available through libparted (versions < 3.0 or versions > 3.0). For example libparted-3.1.
[5] Copy performed using xfsdump and xfsrestore.
[6] Requires mtools to read and write labels and UUIDs.
[7] The blkid command from e2fsprogs v1.41+ is required for ext4 detection.
[8] The swaplabel command from util-linux v2.18+ is required to write labels and UUIDs on linux-swap.
[9] The blkid command from util-linux v2.18+ is required for exfat detection.
[10] Requires btrfs-tools version released after Oct. 25, 2011 to write labels.
[11] Requires ntfs-3g advanced release version >= 2012.1.15AR to change UUID. The ntfs-3g stable version 2012.1.15 does not yet support changing NTFS UUID.
[12] The blkid command from util-linux v2.20+ or libparted 2.4+ is required for nilfs2 detection.
