e.g. if you install a drive and it shows up in your OS as /dev/foo of size 1TB, then: # pvcreate /dev/foo # vgcreate myvg /dev/foo Now you have a volume group called "myvg" with ~1TB (some space reserved for metadata) available for allocation.
This might be where I have gotten confused as online tutorial indicates to fdisk the disk first in partitions. Make physical volumes of the partitions then create a volume group of the partitions.
You are saying that there is no need to use fdisk to make partitions ?Can make Volume Group of raw device eg /dev/sdc after first saying it is a Physical Volume ?
