Overview The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) provides tools to create virtual block devices from physical devices. Virtual devices may be easier to manage than physical devices and can have capabilities beyond what the physical devices provide themselves. A Volume Group (VG) is a collection of one or more physical devices, each called a Physical Volume (PV). A Logical Volume (LV) is a virtual block device that can be used by the system or applications. Each block of data in an LV is stored on one or more PV in the VG, according to algorithms implemented by Device Mapper (DM) in the kernel. – man page. 1. Check the details about mount point 1.1. Check the mount point, [root@hostname ~]# df -h /dev/mapper/vg_u01–lv_u01 256G 9.2G 247G 4% /u01 I want to increase the size of /u01 to 3.5TB. This directory relies on the vg_u01 volume group and lv_u01 logical volume. 1.2. So, Need to check the logical volume of this mount point, [root@hostname ~]# lvs lv_u01 vg_u01 -wi-ao—- <256.00g 1.3.
