Configure the Logical Volume Manager

You want this. The size of the partitions are no longer limited by individual disks but by their cumulative volume, and you can resize existing partitions at any time, possibly after adding an additional disk. The partitioning tool can do this automatically or you can configure LVM yourself:

  • Create the partitions that will be "physical volumes for LVM".
  • To activate LVM, choose "Configure the Logical Volume Manager (LVM)", then on the same configuration screen "Create a volume group"”, to which you associate the existing physical volumes.
  • Create logical volumes within this volume group.
