LVM, Demystified
I’ve been a sysadmin for a long time, and part of being a sysadmin is doing more than is humanly possible. Sometimes that means writing wicked cool scripts, sometimes it means working late, and sometimes it means learning to say no. Unfortunately, it also sometimes means cutting corners. I confess, I’ve been “that guy” more than once. A good example is SELinux. On more than a few (hundred!) occasions, I’ve simply disabled SELinux, because getting things to work right is often really frustrating and time consuming. The same is true with LVM (Logical Volume Manager). I didn’t get it. I thought it added an unnecessary layer of complexity. I thought it meant another potential point of failure. I thought it was stupid.
I was wrong.
