The correct sequence of commands to expand a volume group using a new disk is fdisk, pvcreate,

vgextend. The fdisk command can be used to create a partition on the new disk with the type 8e

(Linux LVM). The pvcreate command can be used to initialize the partition as a physical volume for

LVM. The vgextend command can be used to add the physical volume to an existing volume group.

The partprobe command can be used to inform the kernel about partition table changes, but it is not

necessary in this case. The vgcreate command can be used to create a new volume group, not

expand an existing one. The lvextend command can be used to extend a logical volume, not a volume

group. The lvcreate command can be used to create a new logical volume, not expand a volume

group. The mkfs command can be used to create a filesystem on a partition or a logical volume, not

expand a volume group. : CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 14:
