Project $5-4$

ESTIMATED TIME: $45$ minutes

OBJECTIVE: Configure the LVM$.$

DESCRIPTION: In this hands$-$on project, you create two new partitions using the GNU Parted utility and configure the LVM to host an LV using the space within. During this process, you will learn how to create PVs$,$ VGs$,$ and LVs$,$ as well as add storage to extend a VG and LV$.$ Finally, you will edit the $/$etc$/$fstab file to ensure that your LV is mounted at boot time.

$1$

Switch to a command$-$line terminal $($tty$5)$ by pressing Ctrl$+$Alt$+$F$5$ and log in to the terminal using the user name of root and the password of LINUXrocks!.

$2$

At the command prompt, type parted device and press Enter where device is the storage device file from Step $2$ of Hands$-$On Project $5-3($e$.$g$.,/$dev$/$sda$).$ At the parted prompt, type help and press Enter to view the available commands.

$3$

At the parted prompt, type print and press Enter. Write down the End value for the partition you created and mounted to $/$newmount in Hands$-$On Project $5-3$: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_($A$).$ Next, write down the maximum size of your storage device $($listed below the model in the output$)$: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_($B$).$ These two values represent the start and end of the remainder of the free space on your storage device.

$4$

At the parted prompt, type mkpart and press Enter. Press Enter again to accept the default partition type. When prompted for the Start of the new partition, enter the $($A$)$ value you recorded in Step $3$ and press Enter. When prompted for the End of the new partition, enter the $($A$)$ value you recorded in Step $3$ plus $1$ GB and press Enter to create a $1$ GB partition.

$5$

At the parted prompt, type p and press Enter to view the partition table on your storage device. Note the device file for the $1$ GB partition you created in Step $4.$ Next, note the End value for the $1$ GB partition you created in Step $4$: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_($C$).$
