Description

Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a software-based disk management system that provides an easy way to manage, resize, and move data stored on physical disks. It is commonly used to provide a more efficient way to manage large amounts of data stored on multiple disks, as well as to provide flexibility in the way data is stored and accessed. LVM is typically used in server environments where data is stored across multiple disks, and it allows the storage administrator to quickly and easily adjust the size of storage partitions, move data between disks, and replicate data for backup purposes. LVM also provides data redundancy, which ensures that data is still available even if a disk fails.
