In this chapter, you will learn about
• Implementing logical volume management
• Creating archives and performing compression
• Enabling RAID with LVM
As filesystems grow and become larger, systems must be designed to make disk volumes manageable. Logical volumes allow administrators to create disk space without downtime, and RAID speeds data throughput and nullifies downtime by cutting the impact of disk failures. But it is still important to protect data by making duplicates called “backups.”
Data compression improves data speeds through networks and reduces disk space use, thus cutting costs for organizations.
