@Hasan,

No, it’s not a typo. (-s 32M) means we are using our own defined physical extend size while creating the volume group instead of default size 4 MB. To get more clarity on this have a look into https://www.tecmint.com/create-lvm-storage-in-linux/.

Hi @Babin Lonston,

What a great explanation! Thank you!. There is a typo in the command below. You wrote in the article that you created 15gb here 32 MB.

# vgcreate -s 32M vg_thin /dev/sdb1
