Thank you for this tutorial! Only one missing thing: I needed to install LVM2 package to use certain commands. Might be helpful to add such note. Thanks again!

In reply to oldhorizon. No need to create partition on disk if you are planning to create physical volume on the whole disk. example : # pvcreate /dev/sdc

If I want to use the whole disk, do I need to partition it before pvcreate? doesn’t pvcreate do the alignment for you?
