Linux Logical Volume Management

Linux Logical Volume Management (LVM) is a system that makes managing storage on a computer more flexible. Instead of binding data to fixed-size disk partitions, LVM creates a pool of storage from multiple physical disks or partitions. This pool allows you to easily resize, add, or remove storage space without reformatting or losing data. Think of it like combining multiple small storage boxes into one large container that can be adjusted as your needs change. This flexibility simplifies managing disk space, especially for servers or systems with growing or changing storage requirements.
