Logical Volume Manager
 (
LVM
) will make 
your job much easier as long as you start using it as early as you possibly can.
In this chapter, I'll walk you through the concepts you'll need to know in order to 
manage storage and volumes on your server. This discussion will include:
• 
Adding additional storage volumes to the filesystem
•  Formatting and partitioning storage devices
•  Mounting and unmounting volumes
•  Understanding the 
/etc/fstab
 file
•  Backing up and restoring volumes
•  Utilizing LVM
The first order of business for us in this chapter is to look into how to add additional 
storage to our server.
