Adding Physical Volumes to a Volume Group

/dev/myvg2/lv03
The maximum device size with LVM is 8 Exabytes on 64-bit CPUs.
4.3.2. Adding Physical Volumes to a Volume Group
To add additional physical volumes to an existing volume group, use the
vgextend
command. The
vgextend
command increases a volume group's capacity by adding one or more free physical
volumes.
The following command adds the physical volume
/dev/sdf1
to the volume group
vg1
.
vgextend vg1 /dev/sdf1
4.3.3. Displaying Volume Groups
There are two commands you can use to display properties of LVM volume groups:
vgs
and
vgdisplay
.
The
vgscan
command will also display the volume groups, although its primary purpose is to scan all
the disks for volume groups and rebuild the LVM cache file. For information on the
vgscan
command,
see
Section 4.3.4, “Scanning Disks for Volume Groups to Build the Cache File”
.
The
vgs
command provides volume group information in a configurable form, displaying one line per
volume group. The
vgs
command provides a great deal of format control, and is useful for scripting.
For information on using the
vgs
command to customize your output, see
Section 4.9, “Customized
Reporting for LVM”
.
The
vgdisplay
command displays volume group properties (such as size, extents, number of
physical volumes, etc.) in a fixed form. The following example shows the output of a
vgdisplay
command for the volume group
new_vg
. If you do not specify a volume group, all existing volume
groups are displayed.
