Getting ready

In this section, we're going to use both our sdb and sdc drives.

If you have rebuilt your VM, have a go at the previous sections to end up with a drive that has a simple filesystem atop a partition and one atop a LVM logical volume.

Reboot your VM so that you're at a point where you have partitioned drives, but they're unmounted.

It should look something like the following:
