7.3 Manipulating a File System on a RAID or LVM volume

Parted can manipulate RAID and LVM logical volumes, even though it does not understand RAID or LVM. It utilises Linux's support for RAID and LVM. Therefore, you can only use these methods if your Linux kernel supports RAID and/or LVM.

To manipulate a file system on a RAID or LVM logical volume (or, a raw partition, for that matter), you can start parted by selecting the logical volume (partition) device. For example:

# parted /dev/md0

For the rest of this chapter, "virtual device" will refer to the device Parted is editting (in our example cases, `/dev/md0').
