Logical Volume Management - What is LVM & how to use it (and WHY you should use it)

Logical Volume Management is a great way to expand your drive space by simply adding additional hard drives. LVM lets you expand your available space on the fly without even needing to reboot. In this video I'll explain what Logical Volume Management is, how LVM's work, and why you should use them. I'll also show you how to extend an LVM (or, grow an LVM) and the extra steps in extending a swap parition.
