- Example will be using the LV data logical volume.
- Firstly, we create the mount point with
sudo mkdir /media/lvdata
- Can name the directory whatever, but good to name it something obvious.
- Now we mount it with
sudo mount /dev/vgdata/lvdata /media/lvdata
- Can then check the mount with
df -T.
- Can also just type in
mount and it shows all of the mounts with all information. The latest mount points will be at the bottom of the list.
- To survive a reboot, the mount has to be added to
fstab (File System Table).
sudo vim /etc/fstab- At the bottom of the file, add the following line:
/dev/vgdata/lvdata /media/lvdata xfs defaults 1 2
- To then test fstab, we can do the following:
sudo umount /media/lvdata- Then test fstab with:
sudo mount -a
- This then reads the
fstab attempts to mount anything that isn’t already mounted (much more useful than rebooting)
- Mounting a logical volume based on its path is always a good idea.
