Creating A Logical Volume

• Next, we want to create a few logical volumes.
• Here, we create logical volumes "lv_kosmo" and "lv_kramer":

  root@simey:~/vdisks# lvm lvcreate -L 200M -n lv_kosmo VG_YOYO
    Logical volume "lv_kosmo" created
  root@simey:~/vdisks# lvm lvcreate -L 200M -n lv_kramer VG_YOYO
    Logical volume "lv_kramer" created
  

• Lets list the existing logical volumes:

  root@simey:~/vdisks# lvm lvscan
    ACTIVE            '/dev/VG_YOYO/lv_kosmo' [200.00 MB] inherit
    ACTIVE            '/dev/VG_YOYO/lv_kramer' [200.00 MB] inherit
  

• "ACTIVE" means we can start using it.
