VolGroup00 by 160GB, which I don't think I will ever use with the volume
group. I left about 10GB for use by a snapshot volume. Since nobody had told
me that using gparted application is safe for what I was trying to do, I did
some more reading on the subject in other forums and made a backup of the
volume group before I plunged into this risky undertaking.
I used a System Rescue CD (version 1.3.1) to do the job. It comes with
gparted and LVM manager.
So, I can dare to say that one can reduce the physical volume of a volume
group provided there is a significant unused part exists.
