This assumes you are familiar with LVM (Logical Volume Manager). If not, check out my article Getting Started with LVM (Logical Volume Manager).
The vereduce command can be used to remove a physical volume from a volume group. In this example, physical volume /dev/sdb1 will be removed from volume group vg001.
vgextend vg001 /dev/sdb1
If the physical volume is successfully removed, the following should be displayed.
Removed "/dev/sdb1" from volume group "vg001"
