+vgdisplay /dev/xvdf
+vgdisplay vg0
+lvcreate -n lv-vol001 vg0
+lvcreate --help
+lvcreate -A n -L 24.5G -n lv-vol001 vg0
+mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg0/lv-vol001
+</code>
+==== Add drive to LVM ====

+# Rescan the machine if not found.
+echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
+# Cont.
+fdisk /dev/xvdk ## Comment "Specify Type 8e by option t"
+mkfs.ext3 /dev/xvdk1

+vgextend vg0 /dev/xvdk1
+lvextend -L 300G /dev/vg0/lv-vol001
+OR
+lvextend -L+99.91G /dev/vg0/lv-vol001
+OR
+lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/vg0/lv-vol001
+resize2fs /dev/vg0/lv-vol001
+</code>
+==== Reducing Size ====
+<code bash>
+umount /home
+e2fsck -y /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
+resize2fs -f /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 1536M
