Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create physical volumes, then create volume group, then create logical volume, then format the logical volume, then mount the logical volume.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because LVM requires physical volumes to be created first, then grouped into a volume group, from which a logical volume is created, then formatted with a filesystem, and finally mounted.
- ✗
Create volume group, then create physical volumes, then create logical volume, then format the logical volume, then mount the logical volume.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a volume group cannot be created without first having physical volumes; the volume group must be created after physical volumes are ready.
- ✗
Create physical volumes, then create volume group, then format the logical volume, then create logical volume, then mount the logical volume.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because formatting a logical volume before creating it is impossible; the logical volume must exist before it can be formatted.
- ✗
Create physical volumes, then create logical volume, then create volume group, then format the logical volume, then mount the logical volume.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a logical volume must be created from a volume group; the volume group must exist before creating the logical volume.
