The documentation wasn't specific. I believe the intent was simply= to migrate the data to another logical volume to temporarily allow the sou= rce volume to be reduced and/or removed. But let's assume that has happ= ened or that doesn't need to happen. So now we need to unmount LogVol00= , reduce it to its original nunber of extents and then remount it (either b= efore or after remount we remove the physical drive.) I assume you can'= t try this or you'll screw up your computer, but I have a system that I= screw=A0up and easily restore from a OS image. So no need to be too cautio= us.
