LVM : Manage Logical Volumes2022/07/07

 
This is the basic operation of managing Logical Volumes.
It needs to create Volume Groups first.
[1] Create Logical Volumes.
# create logical volume [lv_data] in volume group [vg_dlp] with [30G]

[root@dlp ~]#
lvcreate -L 30G -n lv_data vg_dlp

  Logical volume "lv_data" created.

# specify like follows if you use all free area

[root@dlp ~]#
lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n lv_data vg_dlp

  Logical volume "lv_data" created
[2] Display Logical Volumes.
[root@dlp ~]#
lvdisplay /dev/vg_dlp/lv_data

  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/vg_dlp/lv_data
  LV Name                lv_data
  VG Name                vg_dlp
  LV UUID                Rg03lO-7bcA-RwPd-XsYB-iC0R-bhYe-xLsJoP

  # open                 0
  LV Size                30.00 GiB
  Current LE             7680
  Segments               1
  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     auto
  - currently set to     256
  Block device           253:2
[3] Rename Logical Volume.
# rename from [lv_data] to [lv_storage]

[root@dlp ~]#
lvrename vg_dlp lv_data lv_storage

  Renamed "lv_data" to "lv_storage" in volume group "vg_dlp"

[root@dlp ~]#
lvdisplay /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage

  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage
  LV Name                lv_storage
  VG Name                vg_dlp

  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     auto
  - currently set to     256
  Block device           253:2
[4] Display reports of Logical Volumes.
[root@dlp ~]#
lvs

  swap       cs     -wi-ao----  7.88g
  lv_storage vg_dlp -wi-a----- 30.00g
[5] Scan Logical Volumes.
[root@dlp ~]#
lvscan

  ACTIVE            '/dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage' [30.00 GiB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/cs/swap' [7.88 GiB] inherit
  ACTIVE            '/dev/cs/root' [71.00 GiB] inherit
[6] Take snapshot of Logical Volume.
# create snapshot [snap-lv_storage] from [lv_storage]

[root@dlp ~]#
lvcreate -s -L 30G -n snap-lv_storage /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage

  Logical volume "snap-lv_storage" created.

[root@dlp ~]#
lvdisplay /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage /dev/vg_dlp/snap-lv_storage

[7] Extend Logical Volume. It's possible to do with mounted state.
[root@dlp ~]#
lvextend -L 50G /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage

  Size of logical volume vg_dlp/lv_storage changed from 30.00 GiB (7680 extents) to 50.00 GiB (12800 extents).
  Logical volume vg_dlp/lv_storage successfully resized.

[8] Reduce Logical Volume. Unmount target device first.
If [xfs] filesystem exists on the target Logical Volume, it's impossible to reduce [xfs] filesystem.
# for [ext4] filesystem, check filesystem before reduce

[root@dlp ~]#
e2fsck -f /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage

e2fsck 1.44.6 (5-Mar-2019)

Resizing the filesystem on /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage to 7864320 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage is now 7864320 (4k) blocks long.

# reduce logical volume

[root@dlp ~]#
lvreduce -L 30G /dev/vg_dlp/lv_storage

  WARNING: Reducing active logical volume to 30.00 GiB.
  THIS MAY DESTROY YOUR DATA (filesystem etc.)
Do you really want to reduce vg_dlp/lv_storage? [y/n]: y
  Size of logical volume vg_dlp/lv_storage changed from 50.00 GiB (12800 extents) to 30.00 GiB (7680 extents).

[9] Delete Logical Volume.
unmount ⇒ stop logical volume ⇒ delete logical volume
