RH134 Ch 6: Logical Volumes

The reporting database needs space that can grow. Build an LVM volume on a spare disk, mount it persistently, then grow it online when the team asks for more.

Tasks

  1. Create the volume group vgdata on /dev/vdc.
  2. Create a 1 GiB logical volume lvreports in vgdata and format it with XFS.
  3. Mount it on /reports at boot by UUID, and mount it now.
  4. Grow lvreports and its file system to 1.5 GiB without unmounting it.
