逻辑卷LVM是建立在物理存储设备之上的一个抽象层，LVM使存储虚拟化，不会受限于物理磁盘的大小，可以组合多个物理磁盘，也可以在线对其逻辑卷的大小进行追加。

移除其中的一个物理卷

添加某个物理卷到卷组：

[root@orcl11g test]# vgextend vg0 /dev/sda9

Volume group "vg0" successfully extended

移除卷组

[root@orcl11g test]# vgremove vg0

Volume group "vg0" successfully removed

创建逻辑卷，一个卷组可以分开创建两个逻辑卷。

[root@orcl11g test]# lvcreate -L 8G -n lv0 vg0

Logical volume "lv0" created

[root@orcl11g test]# lvcreate -L 2G -n lv1 vg0

Logical volume "lv1" created

移除某个逻辑卷

[root@orcl11g test]# lvremove /dev/vg0/lv1

Do you really want to remove active logical volume "lv1"? [y/n]: y

Logical volume "lv1" successfully removed

格式化逻辑卷

[root@orcl11g test]# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/vg0/lv0

mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)

增加逻辑卷的大小

[root@orcl11g test]# lvextend -L +2G /dev/vg0/lv0

Extending logical volume lv0 to 10.00 GB

Logical volume lv0 successfully resized

当在mount阶段对其逻辑卷容量尽量修改时，需要使用Resize2fs使其修改马上生效，不然df看见的还是原来的size

[root@orcl11g test]# resize2fs /dev/vg0/lv0

resize2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)

Resizing the filesystem on /dev/vg0/lv0 to 2621440 (4k) blocks.

The filesystem on /dev/vg0/lv0 is now 2621440 blocks long.

减少逻辑卷的大小。（不过个人在虚拟机环境下测试后无法正常resize，superblock被损坏）

[root@orcl11g test]# lvreduce -L -2G /dev/vg0/lv0

WARNING: Reducing active logical volume to 8.00 GB

减少完后还是把这2G用lvextend追加进去

挂载逻辑卷

[root@orcl11g test]# mount /dev/vg0/lv0 /db

[root@orcl11g test]# df -h
