If you did not extend the file system, you can use lvreduce again. You should be carefull to not reduce more than the filesystem size.

What I need is

Since I hve wrongly extended storage to one lvm.

I have extended /dev/vgoracle/lvl10 by 80GB

Can I have that that storage(80GB) allocated to another lvm (say /dev/vgoracle/lvl11 ?

As mentioned previously,

if you have yet to extend the filesystem you will need to reduce lvl10 first, then extend lvl11.

Be sure to back up your data before you reduce, just in case.
