Creating an LVM Logical Volume on Multiple Disks
Creating an LVM Logical
Volume on Multiple Disks
This example creates an LVM logical volume called
new_logical_volume that consists of the disks at /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, and
/dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
Creating the Physical Volumes To use disks in a volume
group, you label them as LVM physical volumes. Warning This command destroys
any data on /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdd1
# pvcreate /dev/sda1
/dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
Creating the Volume Group The following command creates the
volume group new_vol_group.
# vgcreate
new_vol_group /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
Volume group "new_vol_group" successfully created
You can use the vgs command to display the attributes of the new volume group.
# vgs
Creating the Logical Volume The following command creates
the logical volume new_logical_volume from the volume group new_vol_group. This
example creates a logical volume that uses 4TB of the volume group.
# lvcreate -L4T -n new_logical_volume new_vol_group Logical volume
"new_logical_volume" created Creating the File System The
following command creates a GFS2 file system on the logical volume.
# mkfs.gfs2
-plock_nolock -j 1 /dev/new_vol_group/new_logical_volume
All Done The following commands mount the logical volume and
report the file system disk space usage.
Create a directory and mount directory with volume group
#mkdir -p /u01
# mount
/dev/new_vol_group/new_logical_volume /u01
And add bilkd
entries into /etc/fstab file to make
permanent disk
