<blockquote type="CITE">I have a virtual machine with a 500GB thin-provisioned disk, and on it is about 2GB of data. Due to a pvmove operation I am running, the 500GB disk with 2GB of data is growing and growing and is currently 180GB in size, and im sure
it will go all the way to the 500GB before it stops.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
When this process is finished, is there a way to re-thin the disk back down to the proper size again?

I think this should do the trick; from inside the guest:<br>
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo/bar bs=1M<br>
# rm /foo/bar<br>
<br>
You "fill" the drive with zeroes and then deletes the file so there´s nothing left. Worth a try.<br>
