Welcome to the *Introduction to LVM*! This course is designed to cover all the basics of Logical Volume Management. We begin with the overall architecture of LVM and showcase how the different pieces fit together. Afterward, we explore all of the command line utilities and options for creating and using logical volumes. This includes creating physical volumes, volume groups, and ultimately logical volumes that we use to create filesystems on the host. We cover LVM snapshots, which are a point-in-time copy of a logical volume that are used to restore a logical volume to its original state. No knowledge of LVM is required to take this course and after completion, you will be proficient in the basics of LVM!
