>10.6. Shrinking a drive link</H1
><P
>&#13;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:
<P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
>By removing link objects from the end of the drive link.</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>By shrinking the last storage object in the drive link.</P
></LI
></UL
>
</P
><P
>&#13;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.
</P
><P
>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.</P
><P
>&#13;There are no shrink options.
