One more question. When I buy another drive, I use pvcreate to get the |
| 25 |
new drive ready for LVM. What command adds it to the VG? Is it |
| 26 |
vgcreate with some option? I was sort of looking for something like |
| 27 |
vgadd or something but no luck finding that. Maybe I am missing it on |
| 28 |
the howtos. |
