freebsd  root  user can have folloving situation

allocated 140 gb  of hdd but used only 20 gb

he can decrease space allocation with some command untill 50 gb

Or ?   if that is the  case tnan in linux must be some comporable
command
for root 

After this command performed would that reflected  in freebsd loader ?
if yes than this is more correct  vs erase   (risk limited)
