１、LVM逻辑卷管理技术产生的背景 
企业日益变化的存储需要使得传统的磁盘分区存储显得不够灵活 

２、磁盘分区存储 

对于这样的三个物理分区的话，迟早有一天会被数据填满，因为它是死的，无法进行缩放。 
假设下面表示的是/dev/sda磁盘上的三个分区：

1）、初始化/dev/sda上的这三个物理分区：

命令：# pvcreate /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 或#pvcreate /dev/sda[1-3]

2）、将这三个物理卷PV ，合并成一个卷组（VG Volume Group）

命令：#vgcreate vg0 /dev/sda[1-2]

3）、从卷组VG 0 中创建逻辑卷LV ，逻辑卷名称为date

命令：# lvcreate –n date –L 10M vg0

4）、扩充LV逻辑卷date的大小：

命令：#e2fsadm –L +10M /dev/vg0/date

5）、将另外一个PV逻辑卷/dev/sda3增加到VG中：

命令：#vgextend vg0 /dev/sda3

6）、 从逻辑卷组LV中先移除一部分物理分区：

命令：1、#pvmove /dev/sda1          <--------将sda1中的数据移到其它的物理卷中

        2、#vgreduce vg0 /dev/sda1  <--------将sda1分区从vg0卷组中移出
