   But if the 3670 already has a LMFS, I don't think you can turn two LMFS's into one 
   this way.  I might be wrong but I remember that operation as being a lot more 
   difficult.

It's been awhile since I worked with this, but I concur.  I don't
remember being able to merge LMFSs, only grow them and possibly split
them with partitioning.
