How to make a partition, label the partition and create a file system type.
In /media I created a directory backup
fdisk -l -> To see a list of devices. Say the device is listed as /dev/sdf
Note the size, so for our example: Disk /dev/sdf: 3000.6 GB, 3000592981504 bytes
parted /dev/sdf print
It should say this:
(parted) print Error: /dev/sdf: unrecognised disk label
If not, exit and try to select the device again.
(parted) mklabel gpt (parted) mkpart logical 0TB 3TB (parted) print Model: Initio INIC-1610P (scsi) Disk /dev/sdf: 3001GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 3001GB 3001GB xfs logical (parted)
(parted) quit
Now when you type fdisk -l you should see under /dev/sdf a “/dev/sdf1” line Now type:
pvcreate /dev/sdf1 pvdisplay -> sanity check vgcreate nfs_backup_vg /dev/sdf1 vgdisplay -> sanity check lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n nfs_backup_lv nfs_backup_vg mkfs.xfs -L nfs_backup /dev/mapper/nfs_backup_vg-nfs_backup_lv mount -t xfs /dev/mapper/nfs_backup_vg-nfs_backup_lv /media/backup
