Manage Logical Volumes2015/07/20
 
This is the basic operation of managing Logical Volumes.
It needs to create Volume Group first.
[1] Create Logical Volume.
# create logical volume "lv_data" in volume group "vg_dlp" with 50G

[root@dlp ~]#
lvcreate -L 50G -n lv_data vg_dlp

  Logical volume "lv_data" created
# specify like follows if you use all free area

[root@dlp ~]#
lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n lv_data vg_dlp

  Logical volume "lv_data" created
[2] Display Logical Volumes.
[root@dlp ~]#
lvdisplay /dev/vg_dlp/lv_data 

  --- Logical volume ---

  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     auto
  - currently set to     8192
  Block device           253:2
[3] Rename Logical Volume.
# rename from lv_data to lv_storage

[root@dlp ~]#
lvrename vg_dlp lv_data lv_storage

  Renamed "lv_data" to "lv_storage" in volume group "vg_dlp"
[root@dlp ~]#
lvdisplay /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage 

  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage

[4] Display reports of Logical Volumes.

[5] Scan Logical Volumes.
[root@dlp ~]#
lvscan

[6] Take snapshot of Logical Volume.
# create snapshot "snap-lv_storage" from "lv_storage"

[root@dlp ~]#
lvcreate -s -L 50G -n snap-lv_storage /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage

  Logical volume "snap-lv_storage" created.

[7] Extend Logical Volume.
It's possible to do with mounted.
[root@dlp ~]#
lvextend -L 70G /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage

  Size of logical volume vg_dlp/lv_storage changed from 30.00 GiB (7680 extents) to 50.00 GiB (12800 extents).
