A great GUI tool for managing and creating LVs. But sadly, doesn't exist or work past Rocky 8. When creating a Volume Group BLIVET creates the Partition, Physical Volume, and Volume Group in one swift move.
Command Alternative
# List Physical Volumes (PVs) pvs # List Volume Groups (VGs) vgs # List Logical Volumes (LVs) lvs

Create a New LVM Structure
1. Create a Physical Volume (PV) on /dev/sdb
pvcreate /dev/sdb
2. Create a Volume Group (VG) named my_vg
vgcreate my_vg /dev/sdb
3. Create a Logical Volume (LV) named my_lv
(10GB size)
lvcreate -L 10G -n my_lv my_vg
