[ale] lvm for ubuntu install?

[Justin W Elam]

Guten Morgen : =)

at HTTP://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
is where the LVM how to is located.

typically the installer is gui for the cli commands.

typically linux kernel will only allow for four physical partitions.
so lvm creates 'virtual partitions'

here is how i have mine set up  i commented the uuid's...
~$ sudo /sbin/vgdisplay
