About Logical Volume Manager

• LVM is a logical volume manager for the Linux Operating System: it manages disk drives and similar mass-storage devices, in particular large ones. The term "volume" refers to a disk drive or partition thereof. It was originally written in 1998 by Heinz Mauelshagen, who based its design on that of the LVM in HP-UX.
  
  The abbreviation "LVM" can also refer to the Logical Volume Management available in HP-UX and IBM AIX operating Systems.
  
  The installers for the Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, MontaVista Linux, opens USE, SLED, Slack ware, SLES, and Ubuntu distributions are LVM-aware and can install a bootable system with a root file system on a logical volume.
  
  LVM is suitable for:
  
  Managing large hard disk farms by letting you add disks, replace disks, copy and share contents from one disk to another without disrupting service.
  
  On small systems (like a desktop at home), instead of having to guess how big a partition needs to be, LVM allows you to resize your disk partitions easily as needed.
  
  Making backups by taking "snapshots".
  
  Creating single logical volumes of multiple physical volumes or entire hard disks (somewhat similar to RAID 0), allowing for dynamic volume resizing.
  
  One can think of LVM as a thin software layer on top of the hard disks and partitions, which creates an illusion of continuity and ease-of-use for managing hard-drive replacement, repartitioning, and backups
