Volume Manager Re-Configuration Question

[Bliss, Kevin L]

Yes this could be a significant performance problem.  If you don't have any
spare disks, use the subdisk commands for moving subdisks and filling holes
to free-up the space required to either free up contiguous disk space or
multiple contiguous chunks on different disks that be used to create striped
volumes.
