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.

Install the standard suite of lvm2 programs. When this option
is not set, only dmsetup is installed.
