LVM stands for Logical Volume Manager. The logical volume manager introduces extra layers of abstraction between the disks or storage devices presented to a Linux system and the file systems placed on those disks or storage devices.
Why to use LVM:
Flexible Capacity
Easily Resize Storage While Online
Online Data Relocation
Convenient Device Naming
Disk Striping
Data Redundancy / Data Mirroring
Snapshots
In this lesson you will learn the process for creating Physical Volumes (PVs), Volume Groups (VGs), and Logical Volumes (LVs)
At a high level, the process for creating a logical volume is:
1. Create one or more physical volumes.
2. Create a volume group from those one or more physical volumes.
3. Finally, you can create one or more logical volumes from the volume group.
In this section you learned that LVM adds layers of abstraction between storage devices and file systems. These layers of abstraction include Physical Volumes, Volume Groups, and Logical Volumes.
You also learned how to configure LVM, starting with the pvcreate command to configure physical volumes, the vgcreate command to configure volume groups, and the lvcreate command to create logical volumes. From there, you treated the logical volumes like you would any other disk partitions. You created a file system on the logical volume and mounted it like any other file system.
From there you learned how to extend logical volumes using lvextend. When you needed to add more capacity to a volume group, you learned how to do so with the vgextend command.
You also learned how to create mirrored logical volumes by use the -m option to the lvcreate command.
Finally, you learned how to remove logical volumes with the lvremove command, remove physical volumes from volume groups with the vgreduce command, remove volume groups with vgremove, and remove physical volumes with the pvremove command.
