How do I simulate an LVM environment?
Issue
- Is there a way to simulate an LVM disk environment with specific PVs, VGs, and LVs?
- Can I test an LVM metadata recovery procedure without affecting my environment?
- My LVM metadata has become corrupted or I'm seeing a LVM command fail with a metadata error. How can I investigate further or experiment with recovery procedures without affecting my real environment?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
