Question
10 Jun 2021
Problem:
User wants to add new disk and mount it in as a logical volume with LVM under Linux system.
- Add New disk either physical or virtual disk
- reboot your Operating system and check if the disk available
fdisk -l
- create volume group
vgcreate VOLUMEGROUPNAME/dev/sdb
- create logical volume 100%
lvcreate –name NEWVOLUME -l 100%FREE VOLUMEGROUPNAME
- check that the volume is created
lvdisplay
- format the new volume for EXT4 or xfs
mkfs.ext4 /dev/VOLUMEGROUPNAME/NEWVOLUME
mkfs.xfs /dev/VOLUMEGROUPNAME/NEWVOLUME
- make directory to mount the new volume
mkdir /data
- mount the new volume
mount /dev/VOLUMEGROUPNAME/NEWVOLUME /data
- To mount automatically on system boot add the following line in /etc/fstab
/dev/VOLUMEGROUPNAME/NEWVOLUME /data xfs defaults 0 0
- reboot after adding this line or run the following command
mount -a
