This is exactly what I am looking at. A tool virt-manager (from Red Hat does that) how does it do ? While installing a guest OS in an LVM I do not have to create a swap I just point to the ISO on my server and rest is done. How is that part taken care of does virt-manager do it or the OS which is being installed some thing from that makes sure that when you are installing a guest OS in a virtualization environment then in an LVM it will do. Because I never needed to create partitions within LVM until I am doing this setup to clone the LVM on the server to a USB backup drive.

I did read and I could not find what I am trying.Can you exactly say which point or para you see this being done what I asked? I am not looking to create PV,VG I am trying to have two partitions within LVM and then use them to populate with what ever I have. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
