Summary

In this chapter, you learned:

  • Physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes are managed by a variety of tools such as pvcreate, vgreduce, and lvextend.

  • Logical volumes can be formatted with a file system or as swap space, which can be configured to be mounted or started when the system boots.

  • You can add additional storage to a volume group and use it to dynamically extend logical volumes.

  • Stratis provides an integrated way to assemble physical storage into pools that can be allocated automatically to file systems.

  • The Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) is designed to reduce storage cost by optimizing storage efficiency, using zero-block elimination, data deduplication, and data compression.
