If vol0 = root volume make sure you also copy the /etc/ dir to another volume and change that volume to be your root volume if you want to use the volcopy method. If I recall correctly you copy /etc/ to another volume. Change the new volume to be the root volume. Reboot with this new volume. Volcopy vol0 data somewhere else. Destroy vol0. Rebuild vol0. Reverse the process and then reboot.
This method works great. I did it last Aug to shrink the size of our root volume on an F740.
