As a Linux admin, you must have got a request for renaming a mount point. Well, it is fairly easy to rename the mount point name in Linux, but it needs some mount point. Note: You may have clustering software like Veritas Infoscale or PCS cluster which might be controlling the mount p...

Once a disk has been partitioned, Linux needs some way to access the data on the partitions. Unlike DOS or Windows (where this is done by assigning a drive letter to each partition), Linux uses aunified directory treewhere each partition is mounted at a mount point in that tree. A moun...
In the above case you need to add new PV to myvg volume group to extend linux mount point “/data”. Assume that you have got new PV “/dev/sdd” that can be added under myvg volume group ,then follow below set of commands. ...

The above image shows the mount point we are using, and the19GBis fully used for the root, so there is no free space available. Create a Disk Partition 6.So, let’s create a new physical volume (PV) and volume group (VG) namedtecmint_add_vg, and create logical volumes (LVs) withi...
In this chapter, we’ll discuss in detail how to work with disks on a Linux system. You’ll learn how to partition disks, create and maintain the filesystems that go inside disk partitions, and work with swap space. 在第三章中,我们讨论了内核提供的一些顶层磁盘设备。 在本章中,我们将...
