Shrinking an LVM2 Region

Hi!
	I been successful at growing an LVM2 region, and then it's
associated EVMS volume, but I was wondering if I was missing something when
it came to shrinking that volume.

	Here's the thing.  I had a failing hard disk, and I wanted grow the
LVM2 region to a new disk that I added to the system, and then shrink the
LVM2 region off of the failing disk, which I then could remove from the
system.

	Adding the new disk to the LVM2 region was pretty much a snap,
expanding the LVM2 region was also easy.  However, when I wanted to shrink
the LVM2 region, I couldn't, as all it did was list the new drive that I
added as a possible drive to remove.

	I've done this operation using straight LVM2 commands, and it was
pretty easy.  I was wondering if EVMS only supported the shrinking off of
the last drive that was added, much like the drive linking capability.

	Thanks,
		Erik.
