APPLIES TO:

GOAL
How to reduce an OCI Instance Boot or Block Volume Disk Size, i.e from 100GB to 50GB or 80GB ?
SOLUTION
Resizing a boot or block volume can only be done in order to increase the volume size, not decrease it.
For more info please check:
https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Block/Tasks/resizingavolume.htm
As a workaround, for a block volume you can create a new block volume with the correct size, copy the data from the old block volume to the new one and then delete the old block volume.
