If you have multiple volume groups defined, and want to add or remove PVs, select
the volume group in Volume Management. Then change to the Overview tab and select
Resize. In the following menu, you can add or remove PVs to the selected volume
group.
Configuring Logical Volumes
After the volume group has been filled with PVs, define the LVs the operating system
should use in the next dialog. Choose the current volume group and change to the
Logical Volumes tab. Add, Edit, Resize, and Delete LVs as needed until all space in the
volume group has been exhausted. Assign at least one LV to each volume group.
Figure 12.4 Logical Volume Management
Click Add and go through the wizard-like popup that opens:
1. Enter the name of the LV. For a partition that should be mounted to /home, a
selfexplaining name like HOME could be used.
2. Select the size and the number of stripes of the LV. If you have only one PV, se-
lecting more than one stripes is not useful.
3. Choose the filesystem to use on the LV as well as the mount point.
