Understanding LVM

原文地址:Understanding LVM

LVM (Logical Volume Management) partitions provide a number of advantages over standard partitions. (LVM,Logical Volume Management,逻辑卷管理):

The /boot Partition and LVM

On most architectures, the boot loader cannot read LVM volumes. You must make a standard, non-LVM disk partition for your /boot partition.(绝大多数architecture下,boot loader不能读取LVM volume;因此,需要为/boot单独分区,并指定一个non-LVM的分区)

However, on System z, the zipl boot loader supports /boot on LVM logical volumes with linear mapping.

To understand LVM better, imagine the physical volume as a pile of blocks. A block is simply a storage unit used to store data. Several piles of blocks can be combined to make a much larger pile, just as physical volumes are combined to make a volume group. The resulting pile can be subdivided into several smaller piles of arbitrary size, just as a volume group is allocated to several logical volumes.

An administrator may grow or shrink logical volumes without destroying data, unlike standard disk partitions. If the physical volumes in a volume group are on separate drives or RAID arrays then administrators may also spread a logical volume across the storage devices.

notes(ningg):LVM有两个优点:

You may lose data if you shrink a logical volume to a smaller capacity than the data on the volume requires. To ensure maximum flexibility, create logical volumes to meet your current needs, and leave excess storage capacity unallocated. You may safely grow logical volumes to use unallocated space, as your needs dictate.

notes(ningg):当将logical volume大小调整为小于其所存储数据的大小时,会丢失数据;通常,按照当前需求分配logical volume大小,其余的存储空间不分配,今后根据需要动态的增加logical volume的大小。

LVM and the Default Partition Layout

By default, the installation process creates / and swap partitions within LVM volumes, with a separate /boot partition.
