Creating Logical Volumes
29
of the file system: a linear logical volume plus one copy. Similarly, specifying
-m2
creates two mirrors,
yielding three copies of the file system.
The following command creates a mirrored logical volume with a single mirror. The volume is 50
gigabytes in size, is named
mirrorlv
, and is carved out of volume group
vg0
:
lvcreate -L 50G -m1 -n gfslv vg0
An LVM mirror divides the device being copied into regions that, by default, are 512KB in size. You can
use the
-R
argument to specify the region size in MB. LVM maintains a small log which it uses to keep
track of which regions are in sync with the mirror or mirrors. By default, this log is kept on disk, which
keeps it persistent across reboots. You can specify instead that this log be kept in memory with the
--corelog
argument; this eliminates the need for an extra log device, but it requires that the entire
mirror be resynchronized at every reboot.
The following command creates a mirrored logical volume from the volume group
bigvg
. The logical
is named
ondiskmirvol
and has a single mirror. The volume is 12MB in size and keeps the mirror
log in memory.
#
lvcreate -L 12MB -m1 --corelog -n ondiskmirvol bigvg
Logical volume "ondiskmirvol" created
When a mirror is created, the mirror regions are synchronized. For large mirror components, the sync
process may take a long time. When you are creating a new mirror that does not need to be revived,
you can specify the
nosync
argument to indicate that an initial synchronization from the first device is
not required.
You can specify which devices to use for the mirror logs and log, and which extents of the devices to
use. To force the log onto a particular disk, specify exactly one extent on the disk on which it will be
placed. LVM does not necessary respect the order in which devices are listed in the command line. If
any physical volumes are listed that is the only space on which allocation will take place. Any physical
extents included in the list that are already allocated will get ignored.
The following command creates a mirrored logical volume with a single mirror. The volume is 500
megabytes in size, it is named
mirrorlv
, and it is carved out of volume group
vg0
. The first leg of
the mirror is on device
/dev/sda1
, the second leg of the mirror is on device
/dev/sdb1
, and the
mirror log is on
/dev/sdc1
.
lvcreate -L 500M -m1 -n mirrorlv vg0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
The following command creates a mirrored logical volume with a single mirror. The volume is 500
megabytes in size, it is named
mirrorlv
, and it is carved out of volume group
vg0
. The first leg
of the mirror is on extents 0 through 499 of device
/dev/sda1
, the second leg of the mirror is on
extents 0 through 499 of device
/dev/sdb1
, and the mirror log starts on extent 0 of device
/dev/
sdc1
. These are 1MB extents. If any of the specified extents have already been allocated, they will be
ignored.
