The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Syncing disks.
2）在新分区上创建物理卷
[root@rac2 ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdb5
Physical volume "/dev/sdb5" successfully created
察看
[root@rac2 ~]# pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sdb5
VG Name varvg
PV Size 6.00 GB / not usable 0
Allocatable yes
PE Size (KByte) 4096
Total PE 1535
Free PE 1535
Allocated PE 0
PV UUID Hv6qCR-00eO-3GYE-0PkM-jXNV-aHQZ-Xg3Y05
3）创建卷组:
[root@rac2 ~]# vgcreate varvg /dev/sdb5
Volume group "vardg" successfully created
察看
[root@rac2 ~]# vgdisplay
--- Volume group ---
VG Name varvg
System ID
Format lvm2
Metadata Areas 1
Metadata Sequence No 2
VG Access read/write
VG Status resizable
MAX LV 0
Cur LV 0
Open LV 0
Max PV 0
Cur PV 1
Act PV 1
VG Size 6.00 GB
PE Size 4.00 MB
Total PE 1535
Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0
Free PE / Size 1535 / 6.00 GB
VG UUID UXfXeP-rC0n-NvPt-ayfh-EUOu-Yut9-Vgvh0j
4、在卷组上创建逻辑卷(LVM):
[root@rac2 ~]# lvcreate -L 3G -n var01 varvg
Logical volume "var01" created
[root@rac2 ~]# ls -rlt /dev/varvg
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jul 26 23:48 var01 -> /dev/mapper/varvg-var01
5、创建文件系统：
[root@rac2 ~]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/varvg/var01
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
393216 inodes, 786432 blocks
39321 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
Maximum filesystem blocks=805306368
24 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16384 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912
Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (8192 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 24 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
6、挂载：
[root@rac2 ~]# mkdir /mnt/lvm
[root@rac2 ~]# mount /dev/varvg/var01 /mnt/lvm
[root@rac2 ~]# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 3020140 253184 2613540 9% /
/dev/sda1 101086 11395 84472 12% /boot
none 127384 0 127384 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2 8064304 63500 7591148 1% /home
/dev/sda3 4032124 2593864 1233432 68% /usr
/dev/sda7 2846172 125592 2576000 5% /var
/dev/mapper/varvg-var01
3096336 37416 2901636 2% /mnt/lvm
7)复制数据
考虑到在复制过程中不能产生新数据，进入单用户模式。
#init 1
#cd /
#cp -r /var/* /mnt/lvm
# mv var var.old
如果报var is busy,可先#umount /var 再执行刚才的重命名。
# mkdir var
# umount /mnt/lvm
# mount /dev/varvg/var01 /var
然后，应该设置服务器以使我的新 /home 分区可以在每次启动机器时使用。首先修改 /etc/fstab 以使它包括新的 /var 项：#
# vi /etc/fstab
#
# fs mountpoint type opts dump/pass
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/main/lv_home /home reiserfs defaults 2 2
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /boot reiserfs noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
8）将之前的分区也加入LVM的管理中，并并入/var分区中。
[root@rac2 ~]#pvcreate /dev/sda7
Physical volume “/dev/sda7” successfully created
[root@rac2 ~]#vgextend –v varvg /dev/sda7
Checking for volume group varvg
Archiving volume group “varvg” metadata (seqno 3)
Adding physical voume ‘/dev/sda7’ to volume group ‘varvg’
Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
Volume group “varvg” will be extended by 1 new physical volumes
Creating volume group backup “/etc/lvm/backup/varvg”(seqno 4).
Volume group “varvg” successfully extended
[root@rac2 ~]#df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 3020140 253124 2613600 9% /
/dev/sda1 101086 11395 84472 12% /boot
none 127384 0 127384 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2 8064304 63500 7591148 1% /home
/dev/sda3 4032124 2593864 1233432 68% /usr
/dev/mapper/varvg-var01
4128448 125740 3793008 4% /var
可用空间增大了，试验是做成功了，但奇怪的是做成功后每次系统启动变慢了很多，主要慢在启动syslogd
（系统提示starting system logger: ）
通过察看/var/log/下的日志信息，发现一个很奇怪的问题，LVM配置好后，messages日志就
不纪录系统日志了，时间戳也一直未改变。
感觉LVM更适合存放数据，不适合用来存放系统分区。
哪位大牛能帮助分析一下吗？

个人总结：
1）vgscan 第一次啟用LVM機制一定得執行 vgscan(来源Alex Lin)
2）证明：VG里创建了LV,就不能直接删除，必须先删除LV才能再删vg.
[root@rac2 ~]# vgremove main
Volume group "main" still contains 1 logical volume(s)
[root@rac2 ~]# /usr/sbin/lvdisplay
--- Logical volume ---
VG Name main
LV UUID hCewEx-KykP-W59Q-dO3Y-Ohy1-aC51-2MN8BK
LV Write Access read/write
-------------------------------
[root@rac2 ~]# /usr/sbin/lvremove /dev/main/lv_home
Do you really want to remove active logical volume "lv_home"? [y/n]: y
Logical volume "lv_home" successfully removed
[root@rac2 ~]# vgremove main
Volume group "main" successfully removed
[root@rac2 ~]# vgdisplay
[root@rac2 ~]# pvdisplay
--- NEW Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sdb5
VG Name
-------------------------------------
[root@rac2 ~]# pvremove /dev/sdb5
Labels on physical volume "/dev/sdb5" successfully wiped
3) 扩充LV大小用e2fsadm,扩充VG大小用通过将新的PV加到vg里来实现.
