<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/vda3</span></code></b> (enter '''y''' to proceed - ignore warning)</li>
<li>'''Restart system-config-lvm'''. You should notice a section at the bottom indicating <u>Unallocated</u> Physical Volumes. Click on the <u>unallocated</u> partition /dev/vda3 and then click '''Add to Existing Volume Group''' (click on other button in next screen to continue). The screen should now show the partition ''/dev/vda3'' contained in our default Volume Group (refer to diagram on right-side for reference).</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: '''archive''', select '''mount''' and mount it at: '''/archive'''. Have the system create the directory ''/archive '' if it does not exist(Refer to diagram on right for reference).</li>
<li>Confirm that this new Logical Volume now exists by 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>
<li>Use system-config-lvm to resize (i.e. edit) the '''archive''' logical volume to '''1.5 GB''' and verify your results.</li>
