In the interest of being correct and understanding one other. LVM is definitely not file system. LVM stands for Logical Volume Manager - and it is exactly that.
That's true, Tomas. If you use cfdisk to partition a drive one of the options is Type. Among those types are Linux Filesystem, Linux Swap, Linux server data, Linux LVM, and Linux RAID. The choice apparently facilitesa mounting or other behaviors; I didn't read the entire Wikipedia article. But, looking at <https://www.liquisearch.com/guid_partition_table/partition_type_guids> we read: Linux: Linux filesystem data 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 RAID partition A19D880F-05FC-4D3B-A006-743F0F84911E Swap partition 0657FD6D-A4AB-43C4-84E5-0933C84B4F4F Logical Volume Manager (LVM) partition E6D6D379-F507-44C2-A23C-238F2A3DF928 Reserved 8DA63339-0007-60C0-C436-083AC8230908 Boot partition 83BD6B9D-7F41-11DC-BE0B-001560B84F0F Data partition 516E7CB4-6ECF-11D6-8FF8-00022D09712B Swap partition 516E7CB5-6ECF-11D6-8FF8-00022D09712B The long string is the GUID for that type.
