raid0, raid1, raid10 and/or raid456) to the MODULES array in nf. If your root filesystem is on LVM RAID additionally to the lvm2 hook, you need to add dm-raid and the appropriate RAID modules (e.g. If your root filesystem is on LVM RAID see #Configure mkinitcpio for RAID.If lvm2 only exists outside the arch-chroot, mkinitcpio will output Error: Hook 'lvm2' cannot be found. If you are running mkinitcpio in an arch-chroot for a new installation, lvm2 must be installed inside the arch-chroot for mkinitcpio to find the lvm2 hook. The lvm2 hook is installed by lvm2, not mkinitcpio.You can track created logical volumes with:
Void linux wipefs free#
To use all the free space left in a volume group, use the next command: # lvcreate -L 10G VolGroup00 -n lvolhome /dev/sdc1 Simply add the physical volume devices to the command line, for example: For example, you may wish to create a logical volume for the root filesystem on your small SSD, and your home volume on a slower mechanical drive. You can also specify one or more physical volumes to restrict where LVM allocates the data. Just like volume groups, you can use any name you want for your logical volume when creating it besides a few exceptions listed in lvm(8) § VALID_NAMES. This will create a logical volume that you can access later with /dev/VolGroup00/lvolhome. You create a logical volume with the next command by specifying the new volume's name and size, and the volume group it will reside on: Now we need to create logical volumes on this volume group.

If you use GUID Partition Table, set the partition type GUID to E6D6D379-F507-44C2-A23C-238F2A3DF928 (partition type Linux LVM in fdisk and 8e00 in gdisk).If you use Master Boot Record partition table, set the partition type ID to 8e (partition type Linux LVM in fdisk).At this point you will diverge and doing all your partitioning with LVM in mind.įirst, partition your disks as required before configuring LVM. You will follow along with the installation guide until you come to Installation guide#Partition the disks. 1.3.1 Combined creation of physical volumes and volume groups.1.3 Create and extend your volume group.
