So I'm expanding LVM docs here. Could you remove my previous shorter description in New Volume Group para and convert it into a glossary link, something like: Create a new logical device such as <link linkend="glossary-lvm">LVM</link> Volume Group. And then in the glossary we can have LVM LVM is a system for managing logical partitions that is more flexible than normal partitions. It consists of three main components. LVM physical volumes are partitions on the disk whose space is managed by LVM. LVM volume group is a collection of LVM physical volumes that can be partitioned into logical partitions. It might be used to create file systems spanning over multiple devices or to split encrypted LUKS volume into smaller partitions. LVM logical volumes are similar to normal partitions except that they reside on LVM volume group. Also, the location of LVM logical partitions does not matter and they do not have to be physically contiguous. Therefore, &partman; does not allow to move LVM logical volumes and displays the remaining free space at the end of the device. P.S. Feel free to suggest changes if my explanations are not clear enough... - Andrius ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
