HI Thomas
I normally create a vg with vgcreate, with these steps:
1) Create the physical volume:
pvcreate /dev/sdb
pvcreate /dev/sdc
2) Then create the Volume Group:
pvcreate /dev/sdc
2) Then create the Volume Group:
vgcreate vg00 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
3) Create the lv
3) Create the lv
lvcreate -L 40960M -n lvxpto /dev/vg00
4) then
mke2fs -j /dev/vg00/lvxpto
5) This way, if you need more space to create new lv or to extende lvxpto, you nedd to extend the vg00 with vgextend
I Hope that this helps you

Hi,
is it possible to extend a phyiscal volume?
I have a strange problem, i resized the /dev/sda4 partion (8e Linux LVM)
from 130GB to 220GB. so far so good.
But with pvdisplay i still get the 130Gb Partion :
pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda4
VG Name msa
PV Size 130,98 GB / not usable 0
Allocatable yes
PE Size (KByte) 4096
Total PE 33530
Free PE 6394
Allocated PE 27136
PV UUID TnggaW-0rIL-JaRp-JiwR-ZRlP-JJ83-LOjHfg
Can i do something like a Rescan? that the Information will be updated.
The big problem is that on this server a productive data so i can´t
remove any partions.
thx!
-tom
