The LVM driver was included in the stock kernel since Linux 2.3.47.


What is LVM:
LVM includes all of the support for handling read/write operations on
physical volumes (hard disks, RAID-Systems, magneto optical, etc.,
multiple devices (MD), see mdadd(8) or even loop devices, see losetup(8)),
creating volume groups (kind of virtual disks) from one or more physical
volumes and creating one or more logical volumes (kind of logical partitions)
in volume groups.

LVM is free software.

See the file COPYING and COPYING.LIB for copying permission.


See INSTALL for a copy of the installation information as plain ASCII.

See LVM-HOWTO for further information.

KNOWN_BUGS contains information about what it says :-)
