LVM是 Logical Volume Manager（逻辑卷管理）的简写，它由Heinz Mauelshagen在Linux 2.4内核上实现。LVM将一个或多个硬盘的分区在逻辑上集合，相当于一个大硬盘来使用，当硬盘的空间不够使用的时候，可以继续将其它的硬盘的分区加入其中，这样可以实现磁盘空间的动态管理，相对于普通的磁盘分区有很大的灵活性。

与传统的磁盘与分区相比，LVM为计算机提供了更高层次的磁盘存储。它使系统管理员可以更方便的为应用与用户分配存储空间。在LVM管理下的存储卷可以按需要随时改变大小与移除（可能需对文件系统工具进行升级）。LVM也允许按用户组对存储卷进行管理，允许管理员用更直观的名称（如“sales”、“development” ）代替物理磁盘名（如“sda”、“sdb”）来标识存储卷。
如图所示LVM模型：
由四个磁盘分区可以组成一个很大的空间，然后在这些空间上划分一些逻辑分区，当一个逻辑分区的空间不够用的时候，可以从剩余空间上划分一些空间给空间不够用的分区使用。
前面谈到，LVM是在磁盘分区和文件系统之间添加的一个逻辑层，来为文件系统屏蔽下层磁盘分区布局，提供一个抽象的盘卷，在盘卷上建立文件系统。首先我们讨论以下几个LVM术语：
物理存储介质（The physical media）：这里指系统的存储设备：硬盘，如：/dev/hda1、/dev/sda等等，是存储系统最低层的存储单元。
物理卷（Physical Volume）：物理卷就是指硬盘分区或从逻辑上与磁盘分区具有同样功能的设备(如RAID)，是LVM的基本存储逻辑块，但和基本的物理存储介质（如分区、磁盘等）比较，却包含有与LVM相关的管理参数。
卷组（Volume Group）：LVM卷组类似于非LVM系统中的物理硬盘，其由物理卷组成。可以在卷组上创建一个或多个“LVM分区”（逻辑卷），LVM卷组由一个或多个物理卷组成。
逻辑卷（Logical Volume）：LVM的逻辑卷类似于非LVM系统中的硬盘分区，在逻辑卷之上可以建立文件系统(比如/home或者/usr等)。
PE（Physical Extent）：每一个物理卷被划分为称为PE(Physical Extents)的基本单元，具有唯一编号的PE是可以被LVM寻址的最小单元。PE的大小是可配置的，默认为4MB。
LE（Logical Extent）：逻辑卷也被划分为被称为LE(Logical Extents) 的可被寻址的基本单位。在同一个卷组中，LE的大小和PE是相同的，并且一一对应。
简单来说就是：
PV：是物理的磁盘分区
VG：LVM中的物理的磁盘分区，也就是PV，必须加入VG，可以将VG理解为一个仓库或者是几个大的硬盘。
LV：也就是从VG中划分的逻辑分区
如下图所示PV、VG、LV三者关系：
首先确定系统中是否安装了lvm工具：
[root@rhel65 ~]# rpm -qa | grep lvm
mesa-private-llvm-3.3-0.3.rc3.el6.x86_64
lvm2-libs-2.02.100-8.el6.x86_64
lvm2-2.02.100-8.el6.x86_64
如果命令结果输入类似于上例，那么说明系统已经安装了LVM管理工具；如果命令没有输出则说明没有安装LVM管理工具，则需要从网络下载或者从光盘装LVM rpm工具包。
要创建一个LVM系统，一般需要经过以下步骤：
1、创建分区
使用分区工具（如：fdisk等）创建LVM分区，方法和创建其他一般分区的方式是一样的，区别仅仅是LVM的分区类型为8e。
[root@rhel65 ~]# fdisk -l

Disk identifier: 0x00000000
使用fdisk创建分区，根据设备文件的绝对路径（/dev/hda）进入分区管理
[root@rhel65 ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb

创建了一个名字为lv_backup，容量大小是5G的分区，其中：-L：指定LV的大小 -n：指定LV的名。VolGroup00：表示从这个VG中划分LV。
5、LV格式化及挂载
下一步需要对LV进行格式化（使用mksf进行格式化操作），然后LV才能存储资料
[root@rhel65 ~]# mkfs -t ext4 /dev/VolGroup00/lv_backup
mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 20 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
[root@rhel65 ~]# df -h

/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root 18G 3.0G 14G 19% /

/dev/sda1 485M 39M 421M 9% /boot
[root@rhel65 ~]# mkdir /backup
[root@rhel65 ~]# mount /dev/VolGroup00/lv_backup /backup/
[root@rhel65 ~]# df -h

/dev/sda1 485M 39M 421M 9% /boot
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lv_backup 5.0G 138M 4.6G 3% /backup
将格式化后的LV分区挂载到指定的目录下，就可以像普通目录一样存储数据了
挂载之后，可以看到此LV的容量。
如果要在系统启动的时候启动LV，最好是将lv_backup写入fstable 文件中，如下所示：
[root@rhel65 ~]# vi /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Mon May 12 03:15:06 2014
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info
#
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root / ext4 defaults 1 1
UUID=374c9216-76f4-4e4b-a7a7-d7ecdd1d3740 /boot ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_swap swap swap defaults 0 0

sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lv_backup /backup ext4 defaults 0 0
使用Vim编辑器，打开/etc/fstab，在最后一行添加如上所示，其中/dev/VolGroup00/lv_backup指定需要挂载的分区LV，/root/test指定要挂载的目录（挂载点），ext4分区文件系统格式，其它使用默认即可
