| This is LVM2, the rewrite of The Linux Logical Volume Manager. |
| LVM supports enterprise level volume management of disk and disk |
| subsystems by grouping arbitrary disks into volume groups. The total |
| capacity of volume groups can be allocated to logical volumes, which |
| are accessed as regular block devices. |
| |
| The Linux Kernel Device Mapper is the LVM |
| (Linux Logical Volume Management) Team's implementation of a |
| minimalistic kernel-space driver that handles volume management, |
| while keeping knowledge of the underlying device layout in |
| user-space. This makes it useful for not only LVM, but EVMS, |
| software raid, and other drivers that create "virtual" block devices. |
