== Investigation 1: How are LVMs are managed using Command-Line Tools ==
:: a. Determine the current LVM configuration using the <code>pvs</code>, <code>vgs</code>, and <code>lvs</code> commands.
:: b.Grow the home filesystem to 2G using the command <code>lvextend</code> and <code>resize2fs</code>.
:: c.Create a new 2G LV containing an ext4 filesystem and mount it at /archive (use <code>mkdir</code>, <code>lvcreate</code>, <code>mkfs</code>, <code>mount</code>, edit the file <code>/etc/fstab</code>(read the resource: [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fstab https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fstab] ), and then reboot to confirm automatic mount).
:: d.Copy the contents of <code>/etc</code> into <code>/archive</code>.
:: e.Shrink <code>lv_archive</code> to 1G (use <code>umount</code>, <code>resize2fs</code>, <code>lvreduce</code>, and <code>mount</code>)
{{Admon/tip|SELinux relabelling may be required|Your system may report that the files are not present in the new /home filesystem when they are clearly there. This is due to the Security-Enhanced Linux system (SELinux) preventing access to the files, because the files were tampered with (moved) and are no longer recognized as home directory content. You can fix this problem by restoring the file context labels so that SELinux accepts the files as valid home directory content: <code>restorecon -r /home</code>}}
== Investigation 3: How can I use LVM fdisk to manage storage on my disk pack? ==
'''On your <u>c6host</u> (i.e. "disk pack"), using your choice of the GUI and/or command-line tools:'''
# Create a new partition or logical partition drive ('''NOT a logical volume!''') - minimum 5G, leaving at least 10G free space in the extended partition.# Add Format that partition as (i.e. put a PV into the existing VGfilesystem on it).# Grow the root filesystem Make sure it's mounted automatically on a mountpoint of your choosing (easiest is to fill the available spacecreate a new directory for a mountpoint).
