Wait, did they say we need to create the volume group first? I think we should double-check the order of those steps.

Finally, we can mount the logical volume under /mnt/database at system boot time by editing /etc/fstab and running 'mount -a'.

You're right. The correct order should be: create the volume group, then create the logical volume.

After creating the logical volume named database, we can format it with ext3 filesystem using 'mkfs.ext3 /dev/datastore/database'.

So, we should run 'vgcreate datastore /dev/vdax -s 16M' before 'lvcreate -l 50 -n database datastore'.

I think I remember the steps for creating the logical volume. We need to use fdisk, pvcreate, vgcreate, lvcreate, mkfs, mkdir, mount, and edit /etc/fstab.
