Issue: I need to shrink/make /usr LV smaller

Context: RHEL7 | Physical server, can't add another HDD
  • I have a server that was configure with 200G /usr LV need to make it 150G.
  • The filesystem is xfs, All the space in the VG is used, resizing other LV won't provide the space need.
  • I can't add another disk the system.
Question: Is there way to archive data on /usr, delete and recreate a LV for /usr and restore data without destory the system?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=aUO0fp0RS14:46SQD_avGnU:F7zBnMy latest?i=aUO0fp0RS14:46SQD_avGnU:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=aUO0fp0RS14:46SQD_avGnU:gIN9vFwaUO0fp0RS14
