Prepare LVM for System Images
First create a partition, or possibly a device at /dev/md0 to put LVM on top of.
# or cfdisk /dev/sdb # or mdadm --create --level=raid1 --num-devices=2 /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
Now create LVM on top of this raid device
# then pvcreate /dev/md0 # and create volume group on top vgcreate --physicalextentsize 16M vg0 /dev/md0 # now make a volume in that group lvcreate --name lv0 --size 8G vg0 # and format it mke2fs -j -L 'vm0-root' /dev/vg0/lv0
