What is Logical Volume Manager (LVM)?

 LVM is a method of allocating hard drive space into logical volumes that can be easily
resized.
 With LVM, the hard drive or set of hard drives is allocated to one or more physical
volumes.
 The physical volumes are then combined into volumes groups.
 Each volumes group is divided into logical volumes, which are formatted with a file
system like ext3 and are then mounted.

Creating Partitions

Physical Volume

Create a physical volume from the previously created partitions

Volume Group

Create a volume group

[[email protected]]# vgcreate <volume group name> <physical volume 1> <physical


volume 2>

To see the volume group details

[[email protected]]# vgdisplay <volume group name>

Logical volume

Create logical volume

[[email protected]]# lvcreate –L <size> <volume group name> -n <volume name>

Format the logical volume
