3.2.5. Adding a New Volume Group
Once initialized, LVM will add the new volume to the list of unallocated volumes where you can add
it to an existing volume group or create a new volume group. You can also remove the volume from
LVM. The volume if removed from LVM will be listed in the list of 'Uninitialized Entities' as illustrated in
Figure 3.15, “Uninitialized hard disk”. In this example, a new volume group was created as illustrated
below.
Figure 3.16. Create new volume group
Once created a new volume group will be displayed in the list of existing volume groups as illustrated
below. The logical view will display the new volume group with unused space as no logical volumes
have been created. To create a logical volume, select the volume group and click on the Create New
Logical Volume button as illustrated below. Please select the extents you wish to use on the volume
group. In this example, all the extents in the volume group were used to create the new logical volume.
