LVM2 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.
