Using Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
Enable/Disable Logical Volume Manager (LVM)
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is disabled by default. Enabling LVM will allow you to divide volumes and
extend capacity, but will degrade access speeds.
Note: Changing the operation mode of a disk or array (such as enabling LVM) will delete all
volumes and data from the disk or array. Back up any important data before making any
configuration changes!
