(Ubuntu 12.10 has since introduced LVM support from the installation live CD.) … Typically you start with a hard disk, and create an LVM type partition on it. You can create one with gparted or fdisk, and usually only want one partition to use the whole disk, since LVM will handle subdividing it into Logical Volumes.
Should I use LVM for Ubuntu?
LVM can be extremely helpful in dynamic environments, when disks and partitions are often moved or resized. While normal partitions can also be resized, LVM is a lot more flexible and provides extended functionality. As a mature system, LVM is also very stable and every Linux distribution supports it by default.
How can I tell if Ubuntu is using LVM?
You can get LV information by using the lvdisplay command. If you have any logical volumes they will appear as such as well as additional information about that volume such as the path, logical volume name, volume group name, size, etc.
