Once the extents have been migrated, unused space is left on the physical volume. The figure below
illustrates the physical and logical view for the volume group. The extents of LogVol00 which were
initially in hda2 are now in hda3. Migrating extents allows you to move logical volumes in case of
hard disk upgrades or to manage your disk space better.
