Introduction to LVM: (Logical Volume Management)
============================================================
Problems with standard partitions:
There are some problems when working with hard disks and standard partitions. Consider a system with a small and a large hard disk device, partitioned like this. The first disk (/ dev/sda) is partitioned in two, the second disk (/dev/sdb) has two partitions and some empty space.
In the example above, consider the options when you want to enlarge the space available for /srv/project42. What can you do? The solution will always force you to unmount the file system, take a backup of the data, remove and recreate partitions, and then restore the data and remount the file system.

Solution with LVM:
Using LVM will create a virtual layer between the mounted file systems and the hardware devices. This virtual layer will allow for an administrator to enlarge a mounted file system in use. When LVM is properly used, then there is no need to unmount the file system to enlarge it.
