I am trying to reduce the size of a logical volume, but lvreduce keeps giving me errors.  I have rebooted to single-user mode, but am told that data will be lost.  What is the proper procedure for reducing the size of a logical volume in HPUX 10.20?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
