lvcreate -L 100 -n usrvol /dev/vg01
This creates two device files for the logical volume,
/dev/vg01/usrvol
, which is the block device file,
and
/dev/vg01/rusrvol
, which is the character (raw) device file.
You can view information about the newly created logical volume with the
lvdisplay command.
lvdisplay /dev/vg01/lvol1
Any operation allowed on a disk partition is allowed on the logical volume. Thus, you can use
usrvol to
hold a file system.
newfs /dev/vg01/rusrvol
mount /dev/vg01/usrvol /usr
