HOWTO: Create a partition on LVM.

The following command creates new logical volume made of

  • 5 Gbyte in size
  • striped over 3 disks
  • block size is 64K
  • called lv_root2
  • volume group vg01.

Follow up:

sudo lvcreate -L5G -i3 -I64 -n lv_root2 vg01

All that is left is to put the file system on the new stripped partition.

sudo mkreiserfs /dev/vg01/lv_root2

You can check all was created as expected with the following:

sudo lvs -o +stripes

LVM-HOWTO, it's all here
