As pedz has already suggested, you have more control over the LV layout and other parameters if you use mklv first and create the FS in a second step using crfs. As an admin, I think you should always use the two-step approach. It may prove extremely useful in more complex situations or in cases where you need to recreate a certain layout (if you scripted the creation of the VG the first time, all you have to do now is to run the script again and you're done).
So, it's only one extra comand and so much gain! |
