Configuring Logical Volume Management (LVM) Using RHEL 8

*This course is not approved or sponsored by Red Hat.* 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. --- **Red Hat Exam Requirements Covered:** - Create and remove physical volumes. - Assign physical volumes to volume groups. - Create and delete logical volumes. - Add new partitions and logical volumes and swap to a system non-destructively.
