Your lvol 5 has 1 mirror copy
So if you also want have some for your lv, you need to add some with the lvextend command with the -m 1 option and specifying your lv and a relevant disk location. Then the allocated Physical Extend (PE) will be twice your Logical Extend (LE) such as it is for your lvol5
Some additionnal command you may want to read about further, or for checking the correct syntax to use:
Code:
man pvdisplay/pvcreate/pvremove
man vgdisplay/vgcreate/vgremove/vgextend/vgreduce/vgscan/vgchange/vgsync/vgcfgbackup/vgcfgrestore
man lvdisplay/lvcreate/lvremove/lvextend/lvreduce
man lvlnboot/ioscan
man mkfs/newfs/insf/mknod/fsadm/extendfs
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.

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.

vgreduce
VGREDUCE(8) System Manager's Manual VGREDUCE(8)NAME
vgreduce - reduce a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgreduce [-a|--all] [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--removemissing] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [Physi-
calVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
vgreduce allows you to remove one or more unused physical volumes from a volume group.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-a, --all
Removes all empty physical volumes if none are given on command line.
--removemissing
Removes all missing physical volumes from the volume group, if there are no logical volumes allocated on those. This resumes normal
operation of the volume group (new logical volumes may again be created, changed and so on).
If this is not possible (there are logical volumes referencing the missing physical volumes) and you cannot or do not want to remove
them manually, you can run this option with --force to have vgreduce remove any partial LVs.
Any logical volumes and dependent snapshots that were partly on the missing disks get removed completely. This includes those parts
that lie on disks that are still present.
If your logical volumes spanned several disks including the ones that are lost, you might want to try to salvage data first by acti-
vating your logical volumes with --partial as described in lvm (8).
