Explanation:
<p>The LVM system organizes hard disks into Logical Volume (LV) groups. Essentially, physical hard disk
partitions (or possibly RAID arrays) are set up in a bunch of equal sized chunks known as Physical Extents
(PE). As there are several other concepts associated with the LVM system, let's start with some basic
definitions:
Physical Volume (PV) is the standard partition that you add to the LVM mix. Normally, a physical volume is a
standard primary or logical partition. It can also be a RAID array.
Physical Extent (PE) is a chunk of disk space. Every PV is divided into a number of equal sized PEs. Every PE
in a LV group is the same size. Different LV groups can have different sized PEs.
Logical Extent (LE) is also a chunk of disk space. Every LE is mapped to a specific PE.
Logical Volume (LV) is composed of a group of LEs. You can mount a file system such as /home and /var on
an LV.
Volume Group (VG) is composed of a group of LVs. It is the organizational group for LVM. Most of the
commands that you'll use apply to a specific VG.
Verify the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vg0/lv1
Verify the Size on mounted directory: df -h or df -h mounted directory name

Practice Test
Use: lvextend -L+400M /dev/vg0/lv1
ext2online -d /dev/vg0/lv1 to bring extended size online.
Again Verify using lvdisplay and df -h command.</p>
