Use this newly crated disk inside a virtual machine but slightly different:Ĭreate another disk controller and enable "Use host I/O cache" otherwise you will experience very (very very) bad performance of the entire virtual machine. If you are curios, the file is normal text and it looks like this inside: core:osx# cat /home/vbox/osx/MacPool450Glv.vmdk RAW host disk access VMDK file /home/vbox/osx/MacPool450Glv.vmdk created successfully. Use VBoxManage tool to link a vmdk filename to the desired LV: core:osx# VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/vbox/osx/MacPool450Glv.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/mapper/bkupvg-MacPool450Glv

Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 20:51 /dev/bkupvg/MacPool450Glv -> /dev/mapper/bkupvg-MacPool450Glv 2.

Create the target LV: core:osx# lvcreate -L450G -n MacPool450Glv bkupvgĬore:osx# ls -la /dev/bkupvg/MacPool450Glv
