Question 19
Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL 9), format the logical volume named 'newlv' with the ext4 filesystem. Then, ensure it is persistently mounted at the /newlv directory. Describe the steps required to accomplish this task
Show model answer
In RHEL 9, format 'newlv' with ext4 using mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/newlv. Create a mount point with mkdir /newlv. Mount it using mount /dev/mapper/newlv /newlv. For persistence, edit /etc/fstab and add /dev/mapper/newlv /newlv ext4 defaults 0 0. This ensures 'newlv' is mounted at boot. The process involves formatting the logical volume, mounting it, and editing fstab for permanent mounting.
