Assignment

The following should be done on an AWS ec2 ubuntu instance (18.04). Begin by creating a 4 1G volumes and attaching them. You can re-use your raid setup, but you will have to delete any raid configs on them. (A command like sudo mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/xvdf might help if you do need to delete the raid array)

Create Physical Volume

Create a physical volume that uses all your EBS volumes.

Create Volume Group

Create a volume group that uses all your devices. Your volume group should be named mastergroup. (Hint: after you create it, the size should be about 3.98g)

Create Logical Volumes

Create the following logical volumes:

Name	Size	MountPoint	Special
volume1	504M	/dirs/v1	Should be set up with –type of raid5
volume2	352M	/dirs/v2	Should be set up with –type of raid1
volume3	500M	/dirs/v3
volume4	1500M	/dirs/v4

Mount Logical Volumes

Put entries in /etc/fstab so that these directories will automatically be mounted at boot time. Make sure it actually works. Just use the default options for each.
