Do you see a new /dev/sda3 partition under Physical Volumes?</li> <li>To add the newly created partition, you need to add it into LVM to be used. Exit the system-config-lvm utility and issue the following command to add the partition into LVM:<br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">pvcreate /dev/sda3</span></code></b></li> <li>Restart system-config-lvm. You should notice a section at the bottom indicating Unallocated Physical Volumes. Click on that section and click on the button to add that unallocated Physical Volume to our current Volume Group. The screen should then show the partition /dev/sda3 contained in our default Volume Group.</li> <li>Click on Logical View (i.e. above home, root, swap), and then click on '''Create New Logical Volume''' button and fill out the details for this new logical volume including: size: '''1GB''', LV Properties: '''linear''', file system: '''ext4''' file system name: '''lv_archivearchive''', select '''mount''' and mount it at: '''/archive'''. Have the system create the directory /archive if it does not exist.</li> <li>Confirm that this new Logical Volume now existsby changing to the directory /archive.Did you need to restart your centos2 VM to confirm that the '''/archive''' directory is now on your '''centos2''' VM?</li>
