How to create LVM for XFS file system in Ubuntu

Preface

lvm (Logical Volume Manager) logical volume management can meet the needs of the Linux system to dynamically adjust the size of each partition to meet the needs of the server in different operating periods.

When I used to play with LVM under Linux, I usually chose ext3 or ext4 file systems. Recently, I installed and configured a MySQL database server under Ubuntu 16.04.5, so I tested LVM of the XFS file system. In fact, after careful comparison, there is not much difference, just the difference in file formatting and the adjustment commands of the file system. There is no need to explain too much in the following places, just simply record the test process.

Add a new disk on the test server, as shown below. The new disk is /dec/sdc

Modify the configuration file /etc/fstab and add the following configuration information to it, as shown below, so that it can be saved permanently to ensure that the relevant mount point information is not lost at the next boot.

UUID="a72bd3f8-eb2d-40cb-92c3-d5e32c30d5ff" /mysql_data xfs defaults 0 2
UUID="33325d87-f3f4-4215-abf7-ee795724697e" /mysql_backup xfs defaults 0 2

In addition, the adjustment command for the ext2/ext3/ext4 file system is resize2fs (supports both increase and decrease), while the adjustment command for the XFS file system is xfs_growfs (only supports increase). Of course, if you insist on reducing the size, you can only reformat the logical partition through the mkfs.xfs command after reducing it before you can mount it. In this case, the original data on the logical partition will be lost. It doesn't really make any sense.
