A File-System On A Logical Volume

• To have a file-system on a logical volume, we follow the same steps as with any disk...
• ...except that there is no need to create partitions. Instead of partitions, we can create more logical volumes.
• Here is an example:

  root@simey:~/vdisks# mkfs.reiserfs /dev/VG_YOYO/lv_kosmo
  mkfs.reiserfs 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com)
  [...delete...]
  root@simey:~/vdisks# mkdir /mnt/lv_kosmo
  root@simey:~/vdisks# mount /dev/VG_YOYO/lv_kosmo /mnt/lv_kosmo
  root@simey:~/vdisks# df /mnt/lv_kosmo
  Filesystem   1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
  /dev/mapper/VG_YOYO-lv_kosmo
                  204788     32840    171948  17% /mnt/lv_kosmo
