Playing with logical volume management
When it comes to filesystems, one of the biggest issues is their inflexibility when it comes to storage. Creating a volume on a disk means the space is locked in for the volume, which also locks in the size of the filesystem. However, Logical Volume Manager (LVM) provides a solution to this problem. LVM is a widely used tool in the field of computer storage management that acts as a layer of abstraction between physical storage devices, such as hard drives or SSDs, and the OS. This enables the flexible and efficient management of storage resources. LVM is especially valuable for Linux systems, as it offers a flexible and scalable storage management solution.
With LVM, administrators can dynamically allocate and resize storage volumes without the need to repartition disks or disrupt the system. This flexibility is particularly useful in environments where storage requirements change frequently or where efficient resource allocation is needed...
