Logical Volume Manager ato sering disebut dengan LVM adalah fasilitas dari sistem operasi Linux untuk membuat sebuah partisi virtual, dengan partisi virtual itu kita bisa menggabungkan beberapa hardisk menjadi 1 partisi yang sangaaaaat besaaar, ato bisa mengubah ukuran partisi tanpa menghapus isi file dari partisi tersebut (kalo volumenya ditambah ya ukurannya bukan dikurangi) saat system masih berjalan.
Umumnya LVM ini digunakan untuk memartisi hardisk server tapi buat desktop juga gpp 
. Misal kita punya hardisk 2 buah yang tiap hardisk bervolume 111GB jadi total sizenya 222GB..trus kita biikn partisi pake LVM..gini caranya:
# Bikin physical volume LVM buat nggabungin dua hardisk dulu…
user@filserver:~$ sudo pvcreate /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdd1
Password:
Physical volume “/dev/hdc1″ successfully created
Physical volume “/dev/hdd1″ successfully created
#Untuk melihat hasilnya
user@filserver:~$ sudo pvdisplay
