→Investigation 3: How can a PV be added to an existing VG?
# Record the size of the volume group and the amount of free space.
# Partition /dev/vdb with a single partion that fills the whole disk.
# Check the messages printed when <code>fdisk</code> exits -- you may need to reboot the system in order for the new partition table to take effect.
# Run this command to format the physical volume: <code>pvcreate /dev/''vdb1''</code>
# Add the new physical volume to the existing volume group: <code>vgextend ''nameOfVolumeGroup'' /dev/vdb1</code>
