How is a logical volume divided and what tasks can be performed with the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) tool?

What will be an ideal response?


A logical volume is divided into logical groups that are assigned mount points, such as /home and /, and have a file system, such as ext4. With the LVM tool, you can do the following:
·      Make snapshots of a changing logical volume during a backup. These snapshots can then be mounted and backed up to prevent loss of data.
·      Resize storage space and transfer free space from one volume to another during runtime.
·      Remove physical disks at runtime without any loss of data. The data is transferred to existing disks that form part of the logical volume.
