DESCRIPTION/描述
lvcreate creates a new logical volume in a volume group ( see vgcreate(8),
vgchange(8) ) by allocating logical extents from the free physical extent
pool of that volume group. If there are not enough free physical extents
then the volume group can be extended ( see vgextend(8) ) with other physi-
cal volumes or by reducing existing logical volumes of this volume group in
size ( see lvreduce(8) ).
The second form supports the creation of snapshot logical volumes which keep
the contents of the original logical volume for backup purposes.
lvcreate通过从卷组的空闲物理扩展池分配逻辑扩展数据块，在卷组中创建新的逻辑卷
（请参阅vgcreate（8）、vgchange（8））。如果没有足够的可用物理区然后，
可以将卷组与其他物理卷一起扩展（请参阅vgextend（8）），
或者通过减小此卷组的现有逻辑卷的大小（请参阅lvreduce（8））。
第二种形式支持创建快照逻辑卷，以保留原始逻辑卷的内容以备备份。

-M, --persistent y|n
Set to y to make the minor number specified persistent.

-m, --mirrors Mirrors
Creates a mirrored logical volume with Mirrors copies. For example,
specifying "-m 1" would result in a mirror with two-sides; that is, a
linear volume plus one copy.
Creates a mirrored logical volume with Mirrors copies. For example,
specifying "-m 1" would result in a mirror with two-sides; that is, a
linear volume plus one copy.
Specifying the optional argument --nosync will cause the creation of
the mirror to skip the initial resynchronization. Any data written
afterwards will be mirrored, but the original contents will not be
copied. This is useful for skipping a potentially long and resource
intensive initial sync of an empty device.
the mirror to skip the initial resynchronization. Any data written
afterwards will be mirrored, but the original contents will not be
copied. This is useful for skipping a potentially long and resource
intensive initial sync of an empty device.
The optional argument --mirrorlog specifies the type of log to be
used. The default is disk, which is persistent and requires a small
amount of storage space, usually on a separate device from the data
being mirrored. Using core means the mirror is regenerated by copying
the data from the first device again each time the device is acti-
vated, for example, after every reboot.

being mirrored. Using core means the mirror is regenerated by copying
the data from the first device again each time the device is acti-
vated, for example, after every reboot.
The optional argument --corelog is equivalent to --mirrorlog core.
使用镜像副本创建镜像逻辑卷。例如，指定“-m 1”将导致具有两面的镜像，
即线性卷加上一个副本。指定可选参数--nosync将导致创建镜像跳过初始重新同步。
之后写入的任何数据都将被镜像，但不会复制原始内容。
这对于跳过空设备的可能很长且资源密集的初始同步很有用。
可选参数--mirrorlog指定要使用的日志类型。默认值是磁盘，它是持久性的，
需要少量的存储空间，通常位于与要镜像的数据不同的设备上。
使用core意味着每次激活设备时（例如，每次重新启动后），
都会通过从第一个设备再次复制数据来重新生成镜像。
可选参数--corelog等价于--mirrorlog core。

-r, --readahead ReadAheadSectors|auto|none/预读预读预读扇区自动无
Set read ahead sector count of this logical volume. For volume
groups with metadata in lvm1 format, this must be a value between 2
and 120. The default value is "auto" which allows the kernel to
choose a suitable value automatically. "None" is equivalent to spec-
ifying zero.
设置此逻辑卷的预读扇区计数。对于元数据为lvm1格式的卷组，此值必须介于2和120之间。
默认值是“auto”，它允许内核自动选择合适的值。“无”等于指定零。

log uses this granularity to track which regions are in sync.
镜像被划分成这个大小的区域（以MB为单位），镜像日志使用这个粒度来跟踪哪些区域是同步的。

镜像被划分成这个大小的区域（以MB为单位），镜像日志使用这个粒度来跟踪哪些区域是同步的。
-s, --snapshot
Create a snapshot logical volume (or snapshot) for an existing, so
called original logical volume (or origin). Snapshots provide a
?.rozen image?. of the contents of the origin while the origin can
still be updated. They enable consistent backups and online recovery
of removed/overwritten data/files. The snapshot does not need the
same amount of storage the origin has. In a typical scenario, 15-20%
might be enough. In case the snapshot runs out of storage, use lvex-
tend(8) to grow it. Shrinking a snapshot is supported by lvreduce(8)
as well. Run lvdisplay(8) on the snapshot in order to check how much
data is allocated to it. Note that a small amount of the space you
allocate to the snapshot is used to track the locations of the chunks
of data, so you should allocate slightly more space than you actually
need and monitor the rate at which the snapshot data is growing so
you can avoid running out of space.
为现有逻辑卷（或快照）创建快照逻辑卷（或快照），即所谓的原始逻辑卷（或源）。
快照提供了？罗森形象？.源的内容，但源仍可以更新。
它们支持对已删除/覆盖的数据/文件进行一致备份和在线恢复。快照不需要与源站具有相同的存储量。
在典型情况下，15-20%可能就足够了。如果快照耗尽存储空间，
请使用lvextend（8）使其增长。lvreduce（8）也支持收缩快照。
在快照上运行lvdisplay（8），以检查分配给它的数据量。请注意，分配给快照的少量空间用于跟踪数据块的位置，
因此您应该分配比实际需要的空间稍多的空间，并监视快照数据增长的速度，这样可以避免空间不足。

--virtualsize VirtualSize
Create a sparse device of the given size (in MB by default) using a
snapshot. Anything written to the device will be returned when read-
ing from it. Reading from other areas of the device will return
blocks of zeros. It is implemented by creating a hidden virtual
device of the requested size using the zero target. A suffix of
_vorigin is used for this device.
使用快照创建给定大小（默认为MB）的稀疏设备。
任何写入设备的内容在读取时都会返回。
从设备的其他区域读取将返回零块。
它是通过使用零目标创建请求大小的隐藏虚拟设备来实现的。
此设备的后缀为vorigin。
