LVM (Logical Volume Manager)

Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a system for managing disk storage in computers. It allows users to create flexible partitions called "volumes" that can grow, shrink, or move without needing to erase data. Think of LVM as a sophisticated filing cabinet: it lets you rearrange shelves, add new ones, or change the size of existing ones easily. This flexibility makes it easier to optimize storage according to changing needs, offering better organization and efficiency in how data is stored and accessed. LVM is commonly used in Linux systems and helps maintain and manage disk space effectively.
