LVM is the established standard for on-line disk storage management under Linux.
The aims of this talk are:
To introduce existing LVM concepts and tools under Linux;
To discuss the architecture used for the new LVM2/device mapper in the 2.6 kernel and the extra features and performance improvements it provides.
LVM2 is a new backwards-compatible implementation of LVM using a lightweight kernel driver known as the "device mapper".
The new framework supports: Writeable high-performance snapshots; Sophisticated remapping tools; Greatly enhanced configurability; Human-readable (and editable) configuration backups; Atomic metadata updates; Improved data recovery in the event of disk failure; Cluster-awareness.
