There are three Disk Partitions /dev/hda8, /dev/hda9, /dev/hda10 having size 100MB of each partition. Create a Logical Volume named testvolume1 and testvolume2 having a size 250MB. Mount each Logical Volume on lvmtest1, lvmtest2 directory.
Answer and Explanation:
Steps of Creating LVM:
1.pvcreate /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10
pvdisplay command is used to display the information of physical volume.
2.vgceate test0 /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10
vgdisplay command is used to display the information of Volume Group.
3.lvcreate –L 250M –n testvolume1 test0
lvdisplay command is used to display the information of Logical Volume.
4.lvcreate –L 250M –n testvolume2 test0
5.mkfs –t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume1
6.mkfs –t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume2
7.mkdir /lvtest1
8.mkdir /lvtest2
9.mount /dev/test0/testvolume1 /lvtest1
10.mount /dev/test0/testvolume2 /lvtest2
11.vi /etc/fstab
/dev/test0/testvolume2/lvtest2ext3defaults0 0
/dev/test0/testvolume1/lvtest1ext3defaults0 0
To create the LVM( Logical Volume Manager) we required the disks having ‘8e’ Linux LVM type. First we should create the physical Volume, then we can create the Volume group from disks belongs to physical Volume. lvcreate command is used to create the logical volume on volume group. We can specify the size of logical volume with –L option and name with -n option.
One Logical Volume is created named as myvol under vo volume group and is mounted. The Initial Size of that Logical Volume is 124MB. Make successfully that the size of Logical Volume 245MB without losing any data. The size of logical volume 240MB to 255MB will be acceptable.
Answer and Explanation:
1.First check the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vo/myvol
2.Increase the Size of Logical Volume: lvextend -L+121M /dev/vo/myvol
3.Make Available the size on online: ext2online /dev/vo/myvol
4.Verify the Size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vo/myvol
5.Verify that the size comes in online or not: df -h
We can extend the size of logical Volume using the lvextend command. As well as to decrease the size of Logical Volume, use the lvresize command. In LVM v2 we can extend the size of Logical Volume without unmount as well as we can bring the actual size of Logical Volume on online using ext2online command.
There are more then 400 Computers in your Office. You are appointed as a System Administrator. But you don’t have Router. So, you are going to use your One Linux Server as a Router. How will you enable IP packets forward?
Answer and Explanation:
1. /proc is the virtual filesystem, we use /proc to modify the kernel parameters at running time.
# echo “1” >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
2. /etc/sysctl.conf when System Reboot on next time, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit scripts reads the file /etc/sysctl.conf. To enable the IP forwarding on next reboot also you need to set the parameter.
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Here 0 means disable, 1 means enable.
