This worked! At least, up to and including the pvcreate and lvcreate stuff. Thank you so much, Mr. Otta. I have named my lvgroup "otta" in your honor.
Travis also approves!
I like this web blog very much so much excellent info.
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s
a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit
more often. Did you hire out a developer to create
your theme? Great work!
I’m using a theme called “Mantra”, you can get for it free using WordPress search in the dashboard, thanks.
