LVM question

[Amit Manna_6]

Can anybody tell whether Logical volumes can span across volume groups.

If yes how do we configure the same.
Thanks and Regards,

No, they can not. This is one minor problem with having many volume groups when you don't need them.

Hi Amit,

Simple answer no they can NOT span over volume groups.

hi,

what i understand about logical volume:

. One volume group may have multiple disks (physical volume)
. One logical volume may be contain within one volume group.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Physical volumes (disks / LUNs) make a volume group (A chunk of space) . You can address volume group as a whole and slice them intological volumes.

Hi,
It's one of the 8 basic rules of LVM that Logical Volumes cannot span across volume groups.
