LPIC-1 Devices, Filesystems and FHS Practice Question
Arrange the steps to create a LVM logical volume and mount it.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Step 1: Create physical volumes, Step 2: Create volume group, Step 3: Create logical volume, Step 4: Format and mount
The correct sequence for creating an LVM logical volume and mounting it is: first create physical volumes (PVs) using pvcreate, then create a volume group (VG) with vgcreate, then create a logical volume (LV) with lvcreate, and finally format the LV with a filesystem (e.g., mkfs) and mount it. This ensures that each step builds on the previous one.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Step 1: Create physical volumes, Step 2: Create volume group, Step 3: Create logical volume, Step 4: Format and mount
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because physical volumes must exist before a volume group can be created, the volume group is needed to create a logical volume, and the logical volume must exist before it can be formatted and mounted.
- ✗
Step 1: Create volume group, Step 2: Create physical volumes, Step 3: Create logical volume, Step 4: Format and mount
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot create a volume group without first creating the physical volumes that will compose it.
- ✗
Step 1: Create physical volumes, Step 2: Create logical volume, Step 3: Create volume group, Step 4: Format and mount
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a logical volume must be created within a volume group; you cannot create a logical volume before the volume group exists.
- ✗
Step 1: Create physical volumes, Step 2: Create volume group, Step 3: Format and mount, Step 4: Create logical volume
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot format and mount a logical volume before it has been created.
