Creating Logical Volumes
27
You can use the
-l
argument of the
lvcreate
command to specify the size of the logical volume in
extents. You can also use this argument to specify the percentage of the volume group to use for the
logical volume. The following command creates a logical volume called
mylv
that uses 60% of the
total space in volume group
testvol
.
lvcreate -l 60%VG -n mylv testvg
You can also use the
-l
argument of the
lvcreate
command to specify the percentage of the
remaining free space in a volume group as the size of the logical volume. The following command
creates a logical volume called
yourlv
that uses all of the unallocated space in the volume group
testvol
.
lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n yourlv testvg
You can use
-l
argument of the
lvcreate
command to create a logical volume that uses the entire
volume group. Another way to create a logical volume that uses the entire volume group is to use
the
vgdisplay
command to find the "Total PE" size and to use those results as input to the the
lvcreate
command.
The following commands create a logical volume called
mylv
that fills the volume group named
testvg
.
#
vgdisplay testvg | grep "Total PE"
Total PE 10230
#
lvcreate -l 10230 testvg -n mylv
The underlying physical volumes used to create a logical volume can be important if the physical
volume needs to be removed, so you may need to consider this possibility when you create the logical
volume. For information on removing a physical volume from a volume group, see
Section 4.3.5,
“Removing Physical Volumes from a Volume Group”
.
To create a logical volume to be allocated from a specific physical volume in the volume group, specify
the physical volume or volumes at the end at the
lvcreate
command line. The following command
creates a logical volume named
testlv
in volume group
testvg
allocated from the physical volume
/dev/sdg1
,
lvcreate -L 1500 -ntestlv testvg /dev/sdg1
You can specify which extents of a physical volume are to be used for a logical volume. The following
example creates a linear logical volume out of extents 0 through 25 of physical volume
/dev/sda1
and extents 50 through 125 of physical volume
/dev/sdb1
in volume group
testvg
.
lvcreate -l 100 -n testlv testvg /dev/sda1:0-25 /dev/sdb1:50-125
