2010年9月4日 · LVM are useful in situations when you need to create/resize/remove partitions while the machine is running with programs that uses the partitions. So yes, if you have a situation when you have installer on more than one partition, you should have a look att LVM. It isn't that hard to understand actually. Volume group are same has a hard disk.

2012年11月21日 · Note that LVM is capable of striping data, but so is mdadm. mdadm can also do raid10, sacrificing space for redundancy so you can have a drive fail and still work without it. You can also use mdadm to handle the raid parts, then stack LVM on top of it if you wish, just to carve up the space into volumes and add abilities like snapshots.

As of the LVM in Debian stretch (9.0), namely 2.02.168-2, it's possible to do a copy of a logical volume across volume groups using a combination of vgmerge, lvconvert, and vgsplit. Since a move is a combination of a copy and a delete, this will also work for a move.

Most of the disk is in an LVM partition already, which lvm calls a physical volume. LVM then divides up the space from physical volumes into logical volumes. You can use the pvs or pvdisplay commands to show stats on the physical volumes and lvs or lvdisplay to see information on all of the logical volumes. You should see that there is plenty ...

If you select "Use LVM with the new Ubuntu installation", it will install Ubuntu on a single drive, with volume group (VG) ubuntu-vg, physical volume (PV) /dev/sdx5 (where "x" is the letter of the drive used by the installer, usually "a"), and logical volumes (LV) /dev/ubuntu-vg/root and /dev/ubuntu-vg/swap_1.

2021年12月1日 · storage: layout: name: lvm match: path: <DISK NAME E.G. /dev/sda> The first install works just fine - but of course install number two barfs in Curtain/Subiquity because the LVM volume group already exists ( ubuntu-vg ),

sudo apt-get install system-config-lvm Convert your new disk to a physical volume (in this case, the new disk is 'sdb'). sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb Add the physical volume to the volume group via 'vgextend'. sudo vgextend ubuntu-vg /dev/sdb Allocate the physical volume to a logical volume (extend the volume size by your new disk size).

LVM can be set up after the system is installed. But putting the root partition on the LVM after the fact is quite difficult and probably would be better done with a reinstallation. Furthermore, it is not possible to just create a LVM on a already mounted partition. But it seems that the main goal is to provide some space on a LVM for Xen domains.

It tells me the partition is in use by LVM volume group. When I try to delete the volume group it tells me it can't because 1 or more logical volumes may be in use. It's showing me 0 Free Physical Volumes, 2 Used PVs, 1 VG and 0 Logical Volumes. I do see that the VG consists of 2 PVs - /dev/sda2 and unknown.

2017年1月11日 · This is why I think I can tell my Ubuntu OS that the computer has one volume group, managed by LVM, and that group will be made up of the 500GB SSD and 4TB HHD. I am hoping that when I look at my computer's properties it will display the sum of these drive's storage. So, I first installed Ubuntu by erasing the disk and using LVM on the 500GB SSD.
