Logical Volume Management (LVM) in Linux | Into the Terminal 145

Last week we talked about Filesystems, but where do these filesystems go? You could of course just target a block device, and that can work just fine. However Linux offers a more dynamic way of laying out devices in a more manageable way. Logical Volumes! But how do you work with them? What makes them so great? And what problems do they solve? How do I create a volume group? How do I make the volume group bigger? How do I make a logical volume bigger? What even is the difference between a Volume group and a Logical volume?
