similar to: ext3 on an logical volume - snapshot using how?

Hello, as usual, I'm few years behind trends so I have learned about LVM thin volumes recently and I especially like that your volumes can be "sparse" - that you can have 1TB thin volume on 250GB VG/thin pool. Is it somehow possible to use that with libvirt? I have found this post from 2014: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2014-August/msg00010.html which says

I'm trying to create a 500GB lv volume on a 500GB physical volume, but can't: [root at francois-pc ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sdd VG freenas lvm2 [500.00 GB / 500.00 GB free] PV /dev/sdc VG thecus lvm2 [1010.00 GB / 910.00 GB free] PV /dev/mapper/ddf1_RAIDp2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [931.25 GB / 0 free] Total: 3 [2.38 TB] / in use: 3 [2.38 TB]

Hi list, I'm having one of those 'I'm stupid' -problems with LVM on CentOS 5.2. I've been working with traditional partitions until now, but I've finally been sold on the theoretical benefits of using LVM, but for now I only have a huge pile of broken filesystems to show for my efforts. My scenario; I attach a disk, either over USB or iSCSI. I create a PV on this

Hi guys, sorry if this is trivial, but I have been googling a couple days and already compromised a test disk trying to figure this out, so I thought it is time to ask for some advice. I have a disk that comes from a clean and working CentOS4.2 install, and I am trying to use an external usb to ide converter to mount it on another workstation with CentOS4.2. I am trying this to better

Hello, I have been having an annoying problem with a multi-partition domain. This domain has a separate partition for : /, /home, /usr, /var, /tmp and /data. I created it using xen-tools and the custom partitionning scheme option. The partitions are inside a LVM. When I boot the domain, it mounts the / and swap partition but none of the others. Therefore it doesn''t work... I get the

I'm trying to setup a LVM mirror on 2 iSCS targets, but can't. I have added both /dev/sda & /dev/sdb to the LVM-RAID PV, and both have 500GB space.

Can anybody tell me if it makes a difference if domU''s have separate LVM volume groups? For instance, the Xen User Manual ( http://tx.downloads.xensource.com/downloads/docs/user/#SECTION03330000000000000000) says, when setting up a domU''s disks with LVM, to do a vgcreate vg /dev/sda10 Should each domU have it''s own volume group, or can all the domU''s share

Hi list, I'm building a NFS server on top of CentOS 8. It has 8 x 8 TB HDDs and 2 x 500GB SSDs. The spinning drives are in a RAID-6 array. They are 4K sector size. The SSDs are in RAID-1 array and with a 512bytes sector size. I want to use the SSDs as a cache using dm-cache. So here what I've done so far: /dev/sdb ==> SSD raid1 array /dev/sdd ==> spinning raid6 array I've

Hi list. I am dealing with DRBD (+GFS as its DLM). GFS configuration needs a CLVMD configuration. So, after syncronized my (two) /dev/drbd0 block devices, I start the clvmd service and try to create a clustered logical volume. I get this: On "alice": [root at alice ~]# pvcreate /dev/drbd0 Physical volume "/dev/drbd0" successfully created [root at alice ~]# vgcreate

After upgrading my HD, I am now wishing I left some space for doing snapshots. Is there a way to free up some space so I can get some free PE? Right now I have this: # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name VolGroup00 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 7 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable

Hi all, Does anyone have a working example of creation of a logical storage pool and volume? I'm hitting a wall getting logical volumes to work on RHEL 6 beta. There's a single drive I'm trying to setup (sdc) as a libvirt managed logical storage pool, but all volume creation on it fails. Here's what I'm finding so far: Prior to any storage pool work, only the host

I thought I'd test replacing a failed drive in a 4 drive raid 10 array on a CentOS 5.2 box before it goes online and before a drive really fails. I 'mdadm failed, removed', powered off, replaced drive, partitioned with sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb, and finally 'mdadm add'ed'. Everything seems fine until I try to create a snapshot lv.

Hello, I would really appreciate some help/guidance with this problem. First of all sorry for the long message. I would file a bug, but do not know if it is my fault, dm-cache, qemu or (probably) a combination of both. And i can imagine some of you have this setup up and running without problems (or maybe you think it works, just like i did, but it does not): PROBLEM LVM cache writeback

This hook script tries to address the fact that a RHEV-H installation will format all the storage devices available in the machine in order to create HostVG and AppVG with all the available space. It may be the case that RHEV-H needs to respect and co-exist with a proposed partitioning scheme, not getting all the storage space for HostVG and AppVG volume groups. The proposed solution adds the

I have a (CentOS4.5) cluster in which the servers mount a GFS partition which is an LVM2 logical volume created as a mirror of two iSCSI- connected drives (with a third for the log). The LV was created using a command along the lines of: lvcreate -m 1 ... /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd where sd[bc] are the mirrored (iSCSI) PVs in the VG and sdd is the log. I have this working and can write data
