Why do you this happened?</libr> <libr>LetWe will now create another partition ('''s Create a new partition for /dev/sda by sda3''') using a graphical the '''fdisk''' utility , format this newly-created partition so we can create another logical volume called: gparted (stands for G Partition Editor)'''archive'''.<br><br> </li> <li>While Quit the '''system-config-lvm utility is running, open another terminal and login as root''' application.</li> <li>Issue In the terminal as root, issue the command: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">yum install gpartedfdisk /dev/sda</span></code></b> </li> <li>Verify that At the fdisk prompt issue the command: '''p'''. What does this do?</li> <li>Now issue the commands n (new partition), p (primary partition), 3 (i.e. next available partition number). When prompted for initial block, press enter to accept the default, and type +2G at ending block (create 2GB for partition). </li> <li>At the fdisk prompt, issue the command '''rootp''' logical volume is now to review the partition information, then type '''6GBw'''to save partition table and exit (ignore WARNING message).</li> <li>NowYou <u>'''must'''</u> restart your centos2 VM to allow changes to take effect</li> <li>Open a terminal as root, and format your newly-created partition by issuing the command: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda3</span></code></b><li> <li>Restart the system-config-lvm utility. 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.

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>
