storage flexibility

In the vast, intricate world of Linux systems, storage management remains a fundamental aspect for administrators and power users alike. While traditional partitioning has its strengths, the modern approach often leans towards more versatile solutions — one of which is the Logical Volume Manager (LVM). This tool provides increased flexibility over conventional partitioning methods and facilitates easier disk management without requiring downtime, making it an indispensable tool in many system administrators' arsenals. LVM is a device mapper framework that provides logical volume management for the Linux kernel.
