A storage management system that allows viewing multiple disparate block devices as a single logical volume, thus allowing administrators to allocate space to FileSystem~s without regard for the underlying hardware on which it is actually stored, and with the ability to reallocate the space available on their storage devices to different [Partition]s on the fly as they see fit. The logical volume can stretch across different physical devices. |

[LVM] was first introduced in the 2.4 series [Linux] [Kernel] and rewritten as [LVM] 2 for the 2.6 series. It is considered a critical feature for enterprise level computing, so RedHat are pushing it aggressively -- the default FedoraCore 3 install includes support for [LVM] 2. |
