To implement the separation of physical space and logical space, two-layer volume is presented. Based on that, the automatic extension mechanism for physical and logical volumes is also developed. For each volume, a daemon process monitors whether the space usage exceeds the threshold, if so, the extension process will be called. Compared with manual extension, the space overflow can be avoided effectively. Besides, the extension for the logical space is allowed on-demand. We put forward a way of index array, which can manage the dispersive metadata chunk conveniently and also organize the original volume and increased part effectively. It is easier to implement than the tradition method of LVM and has a small system overhead.
