测试文件系统

Mount the logical volume and check to make sure everything looks correct

2.         在3块scsi磁盘上创建条带化的lv

Run pvcreate on the disks:

# pvcreate /dev/sda

# pvcreate /dev/sdb

# pvcreate /dev/sdc

Create a volume group

# vgcreate my_volume_group /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc

             

Run vgdisplay to verify volume group

# vgdisplay

The logical volume will be a striped set using for the 4k stripe size. This should increase the performance of the logical volume

# lvcreate -i3 -I4 -L1G -nmy_logical_volume my_volume_group
lvcreate -- rounding 1048576 KB to stripe boundary size 1056768 KB / 258 PE

lvcreate -- doing automatic backup of "my_volume_group"

lvcreate -- logical volume "/dev/my_volume_group/my_logical_volume" successfully created

Note

 

If you create the logical volume with a '-i2' you will only use two of the disks in your volume group. This is useful if you want to create two logical volumes out of the same physical volume, but we will not touch that in this recipe.
