If the volume being deleted is a primary storage pool volume, the server checks whether any copy storage pool has copies of files that are being deleted. When files stored in a primary storage pool volume are deleted, any copies of these files in copy storage pools are also deleted.

Euh, wrong. You delete all primary pointers to the file and this deletes also all copy storage pool pointers. It _will_ also delete the copy storage data.
