Two of the disks in the MediaSonic Probox have been partitioned and had ext4 installed but are otherwise empty of data. Rather than having two separate disks for extra external storage I want to build a single LV.
The LVM docs I've read use partitions on a single hdd. I did not explictly make a partion on each drive for the entire size; lsblk now showes them as: sdc 8:32 0 1.8T 0 disk /mnt/data2 sdd 8:48 0 1.8T 0 disk /mnt/data3 and the two UUIDs are: /dev/sdc: UUID="8f53ff0f-08cd-4bc1-888d-f6a38de11973" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdd: UUID="08b2a158-a57b-4833-b6d8-9b69dfcf673b" TYPE="ext4" What steps should I take to use the UUIDs? Do I need to partition each group so there's an /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1 and use the partition UUID when creating the Volume Group from the two hdds, or do I use the disk UUIDs? Are there other differences? I'd like to do this correctly the first time. Rich
