Create LVM on Debian 7
apt-get install lvm2
etc/init.d/lvm start
pvcreate /dev/sda
vgcreate myVirtualGroup1 /dev/sda
vgdisplay
Create a logical volume in a volume group:
lvcreate -n myLogicalVolume1 -L 10g myVirtualGroup1 lvdisplay
Format the logical volume to the filesystem you want (ext4,xfs…):
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/myVirtualGroup1/myLogicalVolume1''
You can test to see if it's working:
mkdir /test mount /dev/myVirtualGroup1/myLogicalVolume1 /test
df -h
Expand entire logical volume to whole disk (/dev/sdX):
pvcreate /dev/sdX
vgextend myVirtualGroup1 /dev/sdX lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/myVirtualGroup1/myLogicalVolume1
resize2fs /dev/myVirtualGroup1/myLogicalVolume1
