# Boot the system. You should now have both <code>/dev/vda</code> and <code>/dev/vdb</code>.

# Record the size of the volume group and the amount of free space (Hint: use a command that you learned in a previous lab).

# 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>
