I always look at the MythTV documentation for a short, quick LVM reference

I have a large 2TB RAID 5 device that I want to split into two partitions. LVM gives that ability. Here are the steps I followed:

• Create the physical group

  sudo pvcreate /dev/md0

• Create the volume to include the whole physical group.

  vgcreate bigdisk /dev/md0

• Then use lvcreate as follows:

  sudo lvcreate --name mm --size 1TB bigdisk
  sudo lvcreate --name home -l 214789 bigdisk
