Our Thursday 7pm, tonight, at BTC BLUG meeting
will Not be in room D5,
instead it will be in Haskell 108a.
As John B previously posted,
“I will be doing the presentation this Thursday on the linux LVM.”
“Introduction to the Linux Logical Volume Manager
The logical volume manager (LVM) is a disk abstraction system for Linux.
It provides greater flexibility in managing storage space than the
traditional disk and disk partition approach.
With LVM physical disks are combined into storage pools from which
virtual disk volumes can be created. These virtual volumes can be made
bigger or smaller without needing to repartition the drives. LVM also
provides the ability to take snapshots of volumes while they are in use,
so consistent point in time backups can be made.
I will talk about the basics of the LVM and show examples of adding disk
space to a file system and doing a snapshot backup.”
