Summary

  • You can use LVM to create flexible storage by allocating space on multiple storage devices.

  • Physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes are managed by the pvcreate, vgreduce, and lvextend commands.

  • Logical volumes can be formatted with a file system or swap space, and they can be mounted persistently.

  • Storage can be added to volume groups, and logical volumes can be extended dynamically.

  • Storage stack uses layers and components to manage storage efficiently.

  • Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) uses LVM for compression and deduplication of data.

  • You can use Stratis to configure initial storage or to enable advanced storage features.
