简介
LVM是 Logical Volume Manager（逻辑卷管理）的简写，它是Linux环境下对磁盘分区进行管理的一种机制，它由Heinz Mauelshagen在Linux 2.4内核上实现。
物理存储介质（PhysicalStorageMedia）
指系统的物理存储设备：磁盘，如：/dev/hda、/dev/sda等，是存储系统最底层的存储单元。
物理卷（Physical Volume，PV）
指磁盘分区或从逻辑上与磁盘分区具有同样功能的设备（如RAID），是LVM的基本存储逻辑块，但和基本的物理存储介质（如分区、磁盘等）比较，却包含有与LVM相关的管理参数。
卷组（Volume Group，VG）
类似于非LVM系统中的物理磁盘，其由一个或多个物理卷PV组成。可以在卷组上创建一个或多个LV（逻辑卷）。
逻辑卷（Logical Volume，LV）
类似于非LVM系统中的磁盘分区，逻辑卷建立在卷组VG之上。在逻辑卷LV之上可以建立文件系统（比如/home或者/usr等）。

缩减和增加
减少swap分区空间前要取消挂载，使用 swapoff -a
[root@localhost ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem:
-/+ buffers/cache:
Swap:
[root@localhost ~]# swapoff -a
[root@localhost ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem:
-/+ buffers/cache:
Swap:
使用 lvreduce -L -xxx filename 或 lvreduce -L xxx filename 来减少swap分区空间，“-”代表减多少，不加“-”代表减剩多少。下图表示给swap分区留512M。
使用 mke2fs filename 格式化分区
使用 resize2fs filename 重写分区空间
[root@localhost ~]# lvreduce -L 512M /dev/VolGroup/LogVol01
WARNING: Reducing active and open logical volume to 512.00 MiB

[root@localhost ~]# resize2fs /dev/VolGroup/LogVol01
resize2fs 1.41. (-May-)
The filesystem is already blocks long. Nothing to do!
使用 lvextend -L +1G filename 为根分区增加空闲空间，用法同上。空闲空间可以使用vgdisplay查看，增加空间不需要格式化。
[root@localhost ~]# lvextend -L +.54G /dev/VolGroup/LogVol00

swap文件
新建2G的swap文件，挂载到swap,添加到开机启动项。
[root@localhost ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/www/swap bs= count=
+ records in
+ records out
bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 12.0018 s, MB/s
[root@localhost ~]# mkswap /www/swap
mkswap: /www/swap: warning: don't erase bootbits sectors
on whole disk. Use -f to force.
Setting up swapspace version , size = KiB
no label, UUID=92ab4ed5-f301-4ba4-970f-9e5600610522
[root@localhost ~]# swapon /www/swap
[root@localhost ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem:
-/+ buffers/cache:
Swap:
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/www/swap file -
修改启动项
编辑 /etc/fstab文件，去掉之前的swap分区挂载，在最末行增加swap文件的挂载
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/fstab #
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Thu Jul ::
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
# See man pages fstab(), findfs(), mount() and/or blkid() for more info
#
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-LogVol00 / ext4 defaults

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=,mode=
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults

/www/swap swap swap defaults
重启后可以看到，根分区空间有增加， swap使用的是swap文件
[root@localhost ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-LogVol00
18G 716M 17G % /
tmpfs 939M 939M % /dev/shm

[root@localhost ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem:
-/+ buffers/cache:
Swap:
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -s

注：之前有实验过直接删掉swap的LV，用文件代替，但是，删除swap的LV后,重启报错如图
按网上的解决办法，开机按“e”加“enforcing=0”神马的不管用。这个问题暂时木有解决，有解决过的老师，请告诉下学生。
