Logical Volume Management provides a framework to advance storage capabilities beyond the basic `filesystem/partition/disk` relationship. In this lesson, we will create and remove physical volumes on RHEL 8, assign physical volumes to volume groups, and create and delete logical volumes. We will also examine how to use LVM for swap.
