Vinum

Vinum is an open-source storage management system that creates a virtual layer over physical disk drives, effectively allowing multiple hard disks or partitions to be combined, managed, and accessed as a single logical volume. It is similar to RAID but offers more flexibility, enabling features like dynamic resizing, snapshots, and pooling of storage resources. Vinum simplifies storage administration by abstracting complex disk configurations, making it easier to efficiently utilize and expand storage capacity without disrupting system operations or data access.
