Two things, (more ore less) one purpose:
1) LVM: Logical Volume Management
2) EVMS: Enterprise Volume Management System
1) is used for management of Logical Volumes, organised in Volume Groups,
which could be spread accross one or more Physical Volumes.
@William: If one or more of the PVs is a Network Block Device, you're not
bound to the local machine.
2) From IBM, not RH. It's an umbrella for the whole storage management chain
from fdisk over (SW-) RAID and Logical Volumes to filesystem creation and
maintenance.
HTH...
