Talk:Logical volume management

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] LE?

What is an LE? All these acromyms should be explained, or better yet, in an encyclopedia, expanded to thier full form: LV, PE, PV, PVG. The shortened version is easy on the writer, harder on the reader.

-I disagree they should be expanded. It would be confusing when using any lvm management tools. A reference section yes, but expanding these in all cases is going to cause confusion to anyone reading and then using lvm utilities.

Also, what is the relationship between Volume Groups (VGs) and Logical Volumes (LVs).

The HOWTO link should be able to explain this in more detail now. What about migrating more info. from the HOWTO into this page? Sasank 04:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Is the HOWTO link too linux specific? But I think its worth having it. Sasank 04:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

logical extent (LE): Each logical volume is split into chunks of data, known as logical extents. The extent size is the same for all logical volumes in the volume group. [1]
