Episode 54 — Logical Volume Management (LVM) — Dynamic Storage Structures
This episode focuses on Logical Volume Management (LVM) and its role in providing flexible, dynamic storage allocation. We explain how LVM abstracts physical storage devices into logical volumes, enabling administrators to resize, extend, or move storage without taking systems offline. The discussion covers key components such as physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes, and how they interact to provide scalability and efficient utilization.
We then provide real-world and exam-focused examples, such as expanding a volume to accommodate growing application data or migrating storage to a new disk array without downtime. Troubleshooting considerations include resolving metadata corruption and recovering from failed volume expansions. Mastery of LVM concepts ensures candidates can manage storage resources with agility and precision. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
