configuration to include other mount points, such as /home/ or /var/, so that each file
system has its own independent quota configuration limits.
In most cases, the default automatic LVM partitioning is sufficient, but advanced
implementations could warrant modification or manual configuration of the partition tables.
Note
If you anticipate future memory upgrades, leaving some free space in the volume group
would allow for easy future expansion of the swap space logical volume on the system; in
which case, the automatic LVM configuration should be modified to leave available space
for future growth.
