Details
Logical Volume Management allows combining multiple individual hard drives or disk partitions into a single volume group (VG). That volume group can then be subdivided into logical volumes (LV) or used as a single large volume. Standard file systems, such as EXT4 or XFS, can be created on a logical volume.
This tutorial will work with the Oracle Linux Volume Manager utilities to create, mount and increase the capacity of logical volumes.
Objectives
- Create a logical volume
- Increase the capacity of a logical volume
Prerequisites
Any Oracle Linux 8 system with the following configurations:
- a non-root user with sudo permissions
- additional block volumes for use with LVM
