Ubuntu LVM Partition Guide: Step-by-Step
The method for disk partitioning using the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) tool in Ubuntu is as follows:
- Install the LVM tool:
First, you need to install the LVM tool, which can be done using the following command:
sudo apt-get install lvm2
- initialize a physical volume
sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1 is the disk partition you will use to create a physical volume.
- create a volume group
sudo vgcreate myvg /dev/sdb1
myvg is the name of the volume group, and /dev/sdb1 is the physical volume included in the volume group.
- create a logical volume
sudo lvcreate -L 10G -n mylv myvg
The -L parameter specifies the size of the logical volume (which is 10GB), the -n parameter specifies the name of the logical volume (which is mylv), myvg is the volume group that contains the logical volume.
- Format the disk.
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/myvg/mylv
Format the logical volume using the ext4 file system here.
- climb
sudo mount /dev/myvg/mylv /mnt/mylv
Here the logical volume is mounted to the /mnt/mylv directory.
Here is the method for disk partitioning using LVM tools in Ubuntu. Hope this helps you.
