status IO-error

I've done a terrible thing.

I set up a proxmox 2 VE server with a 500Gb HDD.
Stable as hell but I managed to set the HDD wrong.

It's running a Windows sbs 2011 as a guest and the guest has been given 400 Gb of HDD space.
Now the /dev/mapper/pve-root takes 95 Gb
some tempfs and some other stuff takes a few Gb.
This leaves 332 Gb for /dev/mapper/pve-data

Now you can perhaps see the issue here.

The /dev/mapper/pve-data is now at 100% but windows still thinks it got alot of space left.

This gives an IO-error as status for the windows guest.

I can solve the issue with the windows partition being to big. Thats what we got "minitools partition wizard" for but how do I repartition the guest drive in proxmox without downtime?

Another solution is to shrink the partition in windows and then "steal" some space from /dev/mapper/pve-root. I only use 3% of the 95Gb.
Is this possible without downtime?

Best regards
