Drag and drop the steps to configure a logical volume (LV) using LVM on a new disk in the correct order.
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
✓
Create physical volume, then create volume group, then create logical volume, then format with filesystem, then mount the filesystem.
The correct sequence for configuring a logical volume using LVM on a new disk is: first create a physical volume from the disk, then create a volume group from that physical volume, then create a logical volume from the volume group, then format the logical volume with a filesystem, and finally mount the filesystem to make it accessible. This order ensures that each step builds upon the previous one, following the LVM hierarchy of PV -> VG -> LV -> filesystem -> mount.
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 volume, then create volume group, then create logical volume, then format with filesystem, then mount the filesystem.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because LVM requires creating a physical volume (PV) from a disk, then creating a volume group (VG) from one or more PVs, then creating a logical volume (LV) from the VG, then formatting the LV with a filesystem, and finally mounting it for use.
- ✗
Create physical volume, then create logical volume, then create volume group, then format with filesystem, then mount the filesystem.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a logical volume cannot be created before the volume group exists; the VG must be created from PVs first.
- ✗
Create volume group, then create physical volume, then create logical volume, then format with filesystem, then mount the filesystem.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a volume group requires at least one physical volume to exist before it can be created; the PV must be created first.
- ✗
Create physical volume, then create volume group, then format with filesystem, then create logical volume, then mount the filesystem.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because formatting must be done on the logical volume, which must exist first; the LV must be created before formatting.
