Logical Volumes

Logical volumes are flexible storage units within a computer's hard drive system. Instead of being tied to physical disk partitions, they combine and manage storage space from multiple physical disks or partitions, allowing for easier resizing and reorganizing. This setup offers greater flexibility and efficient use of storage resources, making it easier to allocate, expand, or shrink storage as needed without disrupting data or system operations. Essentially, logical volumes act as adaptable containers that simplify complex storage management while providing a seamless experience for users and administrators.
