Create New LVM Volume

Creating LVM Volume

Once you're ready, you may begin to create the LVM volume.

Identify Disks through LSBLK

The first thing to do is to identify your physical or encrypted disks using lsblk command. You need to make sure everything is matching correctly because creating LVM Volume can destroy data on any mistaken disk.

Create LVM Disk

To create disk, use the vgcreate command. Example:

$ vgcreate lvmVG01 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd

OR

$ vgcreate localstore /dev/mapper/sdb_crypt /dev/mapper/sdc_crypt /dev/mapper/sdd_crypt

Then wait its completion (not status output).

Query Disk Status

Once everything is done, you may proceed to query the LVM Disk status for double-checking.

That's all for creating new LVM volume.
