Until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 33 mounts or

180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs-c or-I to override.

Mount LV:

[Root @ jp ~] # Mkdir/test

[Root @ jp ~] # Mount/dev/test1/lv_test1/test

[Root @ jp ~] # Df-h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use % Mounted on

/Dev/sda3 92G 20 GB 67G 23%/

/Dev/mapper/test1-lv_test1

After mounting, the LV capacity can be reached.

If you want to start LV at system startup, it is best to write LV01 into the fstable file.

Adjust the LV size

[Root @ jp ~] # Lvresize-L + 200 M/dev/test1/lv_test1

Extending logical volume lv_test1 to 1.17 GB

Logical volume lv_test1 successfully resized

Filesystem at/dev/test1/lv_test1 is mounted on/test; on-line resizing required

Ming an on-line resize of/dev/test1/lv_test1 to 307200 (4 k) blocks.

The filesystem on/dev/test1/lv_test1 is now 307200 blocks long.
