Actually you can offline vol0 before you reboot. It won't actually offline the volume until you reboot but it will mark it to be offlined.

Or if you are running 6.x, you can do it as you want but you won't need the 2nd reboot because you can offline non-root volumes without a reboot on 6.x.

If you are running pre-6.x, you can do the first method and only have 1 reboot.

Just a thought.
