Format and partition device-mapper in LVM

  • 772

I have a disk on a server: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 that is about 5TB.

I would like to format and partition it to make 2 500GB mount points. It doesn't even have to be in LVM. How can I take this disk out of LVM so that I can use a tool such as parted to break up the disk to the needed 500GB mount points?

lvs:

 LV       VG         Attr   LSize   Origin Snap%  Move Log Copy%  Convert
  LogVol00 VolGroup00 -wi-ao  30.00G
  LogVol01 VolGroup00 -wi-ao 127.91G
  LogVol02 VolGroup00 -wi-ao   4.76T

pvs:

PV                  VG         Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree
  /dev/cciss/c0d0p2   VolGroup00 lvm2 a--    1.64T    0
  /dev/cciss/c0d1p1   VolGroup00 lvm2 a--    3.27T    0
  /dev/mpath/mpath0p2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a--  405.88G    0

vgs:

VG         #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree
  VolGroup00   1   2   0 wz--n- 405.88G    0
  VolGroup00   2   3   0 wz--n-   4.91T    0

    I think you've missed the point of LVM entirely.

    If you don't want a 4.76TB logical volume, then shrink it or delete it and make your own in whatever sizes you want.

    lvremove /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02
lvcreate -L 500G -n myfirstvolume VolGroup00
lvcreate -L 500G -n mysecondvolume VolGroup00

mkfs -t ext4 /dev/VolGroup00/myfirstvolume
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/VolGroup00/mysecondvolume
