== Investigation 1: How are LVMs managed using system-config-lvm? ==
'''Perform this investigation on the VM named ''<u>fedora2</u>''.'''
[[Image:Ops235_lab4_1.png|thumb|right|Screenshot of system-config-lvm in Fedora. Click to enlarge.]]
# Fedora provides a tool called <code>system-config-lvm</code> to graphically administer LVM. It will appear on the menu as System>Administration>Logical Volume Management. Verify that this package is present, and install it if required (<code>yum install system-config-lvm</code>).
== Investigation 2: How are LVMs managed from the command line? ==
'''Repeat the operations from Investigation 1, using the virtual machine ''<u>fedora3</u>'' (command-line tools only). Write down the exact commands used at each step:'''
# Determine the current LVM configuration using the <code>pvs</code>, <code>vgs</code>, and <code>lvs</code> command.
# Grow the home filesystem to 2G using the command <code>lvextend</code> and <code>resize2fs</code>.
== Investigation 3: How can a PV be added to an existing VG? ==
'''Add an additional 2 GB virtual disk to your ''<u>fedora1</u>'' system, and use it as an additional physical volume:'''
# Start <code>virt-manager</code>.
# Shutdown ''fedora1'' if it is running.
