What is LVM?

LVM (Logical Volume Manager) is a storage management scheme that provides a layer of abstraction between the operating system and physical hard drives. It allows for flexible allocation of storage space, enabling features like resizing volumes, creating snapshots, and striping across multiple disks. It is commonly used in server environments for managing storage resources more efficiently and easily than traditional partitioning schemes.
