I've created some logical volumes on a non-production server. I was supposed to make the new LV's similar to another LV already on the server. Supposed to be the similar to lvol5
I did everything right except one thing as somebody mentioned. I would like to figure out what I did wrong but I can't see it.
I was supposed to create 3 LV's on root: /scratch1 /scratch2 and /scratch3.
I just started working with LVM after taking HP classes at work so I'm really new at this.

The only thing I see is that the LE's and PE's are not the same.
Having first encountered LVM in HP-UX and now experimenting with it in Redhat and Gentoo, I am wondering, when is it actually good practice to use LVM? Obviously LVM doesn't work for boot partitions, so that question is a pretty easy answer: Not for /boot in Linux.

Hi All,
I created an lvm filesystem with a name with dash in the middle, like xxx-yyy (note, that it's only one dash).
I was able to create it smoothly with this instructions.
lvcreate -L 1G uservg -n xxx-yyy
ls /dev/uservg/xxx-yyy (check)
mkfs.ext3 /dev/uservg/xxx-yyy

Hi
How do you configure LVM to linux? How to create logic volume using LVM?
On a new VM system, just install RHEL 5.8 gave 200 gig for / and 10 gig for swap.
Now I want to configure LVM? is that too late, do I need to delete and start all over again ? (1 Reply)

Hello,
I need some help, it is slightly urgent so any help is appreciated.
We were doing a data migration, during a migratepv command, our SAN ran out of quota space and locked all of the filesystems, now I'm left with a few errors and am not able to do migratepv again.
