You can not span multiple volume groups with mkfs.

Cheers!

Hi:

Since a filesystem resides "in" a logical volume, and a logical volume is unique within a volume group, the answer is "no, you cannot".

Have a look at the 'lvm' man pages ('man 7 lvm') for a quick overview of terminology and concepts.

Can you explain for what purpose you need to do this ? Someone here may be able to offer a different solution to your problem. For instance would a link to a different filesystem using "ln -s" help in any way.

Hi,

It is not possible to span the logical volume across the volumegroups since a logical volume is a part of the vg.

Why do you want to do this ??
