Logical Volume Management (LVM) makes it easier to manage disk space. If a file system needs more space, it can be added to its logical volumes from the free spaces in its volume group and the file system can be re-sized as we wish.
What is the purpose of LVM in Linux?
LVM is used for the following purposes: Creating single logical volumes of multiple physical volumes or entire hard disks (somewhat similar to RAID 0, but more similar to JBOD), allowing for dynamic volume resizing.
Do I need LVM in Linux?
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.
