Linux Administration Bootcamp: Go from Beginner to Advanced - Introduction to Logical Volume Manager (LVM)

The video tutorial introduces Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and its benefits for Linux systems. LVM provides extra layers of abstraction, allowing file systems to span multiple storage devices, expand or shrink in real-time, and migrate data without downtime. It enables human-readable device naming, improves performance through data striping, and enhances reliability with data mirroring. LVM also supports creating snapshots for consistent backups, ensuring data integrity during backup processes.

Describe how LVM can enhance fault tolerance and reliability.

What is the purpose of creating point-in-time snapshots with LVM?
