Explain what Logical Volume Management (LVM) is and the benefit of using the feature.

What will be an ideal response?


Logical Volume Management (LVM) is used to create virtual partitions that can span physical hard drives, which means you can resize partitions later, if needed. For instance, if you accept the default Partition Based option and later your /home partition fills up, you would have to delete files to free up space in that partition. With the LVM option, you can increase the size of the /home partition by resizing seldom used partitions such as /tmp and /share.
