Two things, (more ore less) one purpose: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1) LVM: Logical Volume Management |
| 9 |
2) EVMS: Enterprise Volume Management System |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1) is used for management of Logical Volumes, organised in Volume Groups, |
| 12 |
which could be spread accross one or more Physical Volumes. |

@William: If one or more of the PVs is a Network Block Device, you're not |
| 15 |
bound to the local machine. |

2) From IBM, not RH. It's an umbrella for the whole storage management chain |
| 18 |
from fdisk over (SW-) RAID and Logical Volumes to filesystem creation and |
| 19 |
maintenance. |
