Step 1) pvcreate /dev/sdb Step 2) vgcreate nintendo /dev/sbd Volume group "nintendo" successfully created Step 3) lvcreate --name lvm1 --size 10G nintendo Step 4) vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "nintendo" using metadata type lvm2 Step 5) lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/nintendo/lvm1 VG Name nintendo LV UUID 280Mup-H9aa-sn0S-AXH3-04cP-V6p9-lfoGgJ LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 10.00 GB Step 6) cfdisk /dev/nintendo/lvm1 Step 7) kpartx -av /dev/nintendo/lvm1 lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/nintendo/lvm1' [10.00 GiB] inherit vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "nintendo" using metadata type lvm2 Step 8) Create two partitions on /dev/nintendolvm1 now how do I convert them to filesystem as in lvscan it does not come as two different blocks I see them as only one block device ACTIVE '/dev/nintendo/lvm1' [10.00 GiB] inherit What I am doing manually in step 8 is some thing done when using virt-manager to install guest OS. If some one can point me to script that is doing this I will be able to understand. _______________________________________________ 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/
