Mkfs.btrfs -L home /dev/arch-lvm/arch-home Mkfs.btrfs -L root /dev/arch-lvm/arch-root We need filesystems for storing Arch Kernels(boot files), OS installation, home users files and swap partition. To confirm all creations, use the command: lvs Create file systems Lvcreate -n arch-home -l 100%FREE arch-lvm vgcreate arch-lvm /dev/sdX3īefore you can install install Arch Linux with LVM: Create Logical volumes:Ĭreate Logical volumes for system, home and swap. Volume group is created from the physical volume defined previously. Use pvcreate command to create a physical volume on your OS installation partition. Sudo parted /dev/sdX print Create Physical volume Remember that our third partition starts at 800MiB and ends at 100%, we’ll mark it for LVM so that we can create Logical volumes on it. (parted) quit Create LVM and File systems on partitions 100% means ends at the end of the device ( use all the remaining space) Consist of number followed by unit e.g 1MiBĮnd: End of the partition from the start of the device. Start: Beginning of the partition from the start of the device. Part-type: primary,extended or logical ( meaningful for MBR partition tables only)įs-type: Used by parted to set 1-byte code used by boot loaders to preview type of data in a partition. The syntax to create partition with parted is: (parted) mkpart part-type fs-type start end Mark EFI System partition with the boot flag.Create bootable EFI System Partition ( recommended size is 512MiB).Then we’ll create necessary partitions for LVM. Here we’ll create a new GPT partition table for UEFI system using parted command. You may have to run lsblk command to confirm block devices attached before beginning to partition. Select appropriate version of Arch to install on your machine.
You’ll be prompted with screen similar to one below: Once you have installation media ready, boot into live Arch Linux to start install Arch Linux with LVM. Replace sdX with your device name, e.g /dev/sdb Start to install Arch Linux with LVM sudo dd if=path-to-image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M Once the ISO is downloaded, create a bootable USB device using dd Linux command. Use the following link to download the latest Arch Linux ISO file.
