EX200 Red Hat Certified System Administrator - RHCSA (8.2) Questions and Answers

• Create a partition having size 5 GB and change the syste id '8e'.
• use partprobe command
• pvcreate /dev/hda9 Suppose your partition number is hda9.
• vgextend test0 /dev/hda9 vgextend command add the physical disk on volume group.
• lvextend -L+5120M /dev/test0/lvtestvolume
• verify using lvdisplay /dev/test0/lvtestvolume.

The LVM system organizes hard disks into Logical Volume (LV) groups. Essentially, physical hard disk partitions (or possibly RAID arrays) are set up in a bunch of equal sized chunks known as Physical Extents (PE). As there are several other concepts associated with the LVM system, let's start with some basic definitions:

Physical Volume (PV) is the standard partition that you add to the LVM mix. Normally, a physical volume is a standard primary or logical partition. It can also be a RAID array.

Physical Extent (PE) is a chunk of disk space. Every PV is divided into a number of equal sized PEs. Every PE in a LV group is the same size. Different LV groups can have different sized PEs.

Logical Extent (LE) is also a chunk of disk space. Every LE is mapped to a specific PE.

Logical Volume (LV) is composed of a group of LEs. You can mount a file system such as /home and /var on an LV.

Volume Group (VG) is composed of a group of LVs. It is the organizational group for LVM. Most of the commands that you'll use apply to a specific VG.

• Verify the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vg0/lv1
• Verify the Size on mounted directory: df -h or df -h mounted directory name
• Use: lvextend -L+400M /dev/vg0/lv1
• ext2online -d /dev/vg0/lv1 to bring extended size online.
• Again Verify using lvdisplay and df -h command.

/proc is the virtual filesystem, containing the information about the running kernel.

To change the parameter of running kernel you should modify on /proc. From Next reboot the system, kernel will take the value from /etc/sysctl.conf.
