Subject: [PATCH] Update lab6-the_file_system.md

Moved the "To remove a LV, VG and PV" section after the "To create a logical volume" section within Exercise 1, this seemingly being placed incorrectly due to the "scratch" variables appearing before they were defined.

Added a step 4 to the "To assign a physical volume to a volume group" section, undoing the previous action, which will help the user follow into the next section.

Added a number 3 after "## Exercise".

 ## Exercise 2
 
 To make the traditional partition and LVM-style volumes created earlier usable by the operating system, you need to create file systems on it. Writing a file system to a device is also known as formatting the disk.

 The previous exercises walked through preparing a block/storage device for use on a system. After going through all the motions of partitioning, formatting and so on, the final step in making the file system available to users for storing data is known as mounting.
