Notes on LVM
- PV commands => working on physical volume aka disk
- VG commands => virtual groups
- LV commands => logical volumes
Create
Create a bunch of small (100MB) virtual disks for use with LVM.
DISK_DIR=/var/tmp/disks
mkdir -p ${DISK_DIR} &&
for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=${DISK_DIR}/disk${i} bs=100M count=1 &&
losetup /dev/loop${i} ${DISK_DIR}/disk${i} &&
pvcreate /dev/loop${i}
done
Output should look like this
1+0 records in 1+0 records out 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 0.50751 s, 207 MB/s Physical volume "/dev/loop1" successfully created 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 1.94502 s, 53.9 MB/s Physical volume "/dev/loop2" successfully created 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 4.12227 s, 25.4 MB/s Physical volume "/dev/loop3" successfully created 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 1.51487 s, 69.2 MB/s Physical volume "/dev/loop4" successfully created 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 3.88262 s, 27.0 MB/s Physical volume "/dev/loop5" successfully created
Confirm the output

Create Virtual Group
