首先我们需要为我们的虚拟机添加一个虚拟硬盘，过程略。
查看硬盘设备：
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
...
Disk /dev/sdc: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xa2c6e480
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
...
如上/dev/sdc是我们新添加的硬盘设备。
我们需要在/dev/sdc基础上创建分区并修改分区系统类型为8e：
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sdc

创建逻辑卷的命令为lvcreate
[root@localhost ~]# lvcreate -L 6G -n mylv myvg
Logical volume "mylv" created.
[root@localhost ~]#
使用方法：
lvcreate -L #G -n LV_NAME VG_NAME
参数解释：
至此我们的逻辑卷就已创建完成，接下来我们就需要格式化分区并挂载使用啦。
[root@localhost ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/myvg/mylv # 格式化分区

上一章我们介绍了如何创建LVM系统，并挂载使用。如果我们分配的空间不够用，那么就需要我们来扩展分区大小了。
接下来我们将/dev/sdc3分区也加入到卷组，并扩展逻辑卷空间。
[root@localhost ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdc3 # 创建物理卷
