LVM is Dyn-o-mite

This topic was the inspiration for starting a tech blog. Unless you are a Systems Administrator or a Linux Geek, then you probably never paid much attention to LVM, since standard partitioning is “good enough” for most cases. However, I am often asked for help when someone runs out of disk space and their system was setup with logical volumes. This is often the case for Red-Hat based distro’s. I started out by creating a wiki page to both help guide newer users when configuring it, but also as a helper tool that I can reference if I can’t remember the syntax for a specific operation. One day, a former co-worker contacted me and said that at their new job, one of their servers ran out of disk space on their root partition due to log data filling it up. The previous administrator had set it up using LVM, but none of the Systems Administrators were familiar with it, so they did not know how to fix it. My former co-worker had made a copy of my LVM wiki page and used that to save the day. If that page can make that big of a difference at just one company, then maybe creating a blog about it can help even more users.
