This article will explain how to use the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) in Linux.
Examples
- Prepare a physical volume:
fdisk -cu /dev/xvde pvcreate /dev/xvde1 pvdisplay /dev/xvde1 pvs
- Create a volume group:
vgcreate vgname /dev/xvde1 vgdisplay vgname vgs
- Create and use a new logical volume:
lvcreate -n lvname -L 1G vgname lvdisplay /dev/vgname/lvname lvs ls -l /dev/vgname/lvname #~OR~ ls -l /dev/mapper/vgname-lvname mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgname/lvname mkdir /data
- Make it persistent by adding the following line to your
/etc/fstabfile:
/dev/mapper/vgname-lvname /data ext4 defaults 1 2 mount -a
