Creating and extending logical volumes

We currently have several physical volumes created and two of them grouped into a volume group. Let's move to the next layers and check the logical volumes with the lvs command:

[root@rhel8 ~]# lvs
  LV   VG   Attr       LSize  Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  root rhel -wi-ao---- <8,00g
  swap rhel -wi-ao----  1,00g  

We see the root and swap volumes on the rhel volume group, which hosts the operating system.

Now, we can create a simple logical volume called data, 200 MB in size, on the storage volume group:

[root@rhel8 ~]# lvcreate --name data --size 200MB storage 
  Logical volume "data" created.
[root@rhel8 ~]# lvs
  LV   VG      Attr       LSize ...
