add a disk to a PV

 vgextend vg_1 /dev/sdb
 Volume group "vg_1" successfully extended

remove a disk from PV

vgreduce vg_1 /dev/sdb
 Removed "/dev/sdb" from volume group "vg_1"

delete a PV

vgremove vg_1
Volume group "vg_1" successfully removed

Resizing out from Disk->PV->LV->Partition

  • After resizing a physical drive this commands will claim the space gained to the file system.
  • resizing LVM linux partition to the new disk boundaries
pvresize /dev/md1
  • adding 100G
lvextend -L+100G /dev/mapper/vg0-var
  • ext4 resizing command
resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg0-var
df -hT

Logical Volumes

create a mirror volume

lvcreate -L 931g vg_1 -m 1 vg_1

create a mirror from existing and mounted volume

lvconvert -m1 vg_1/lv_home
