Using Logical Volume Manager (LVM)

Enable/Disable Logical Volume Manager (LVM)

Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is disabled by default. Enabling LVM will allow you to divide volumes and extend
capacity, but will degrade access speeds.
Note: Changing the operation mode of a disk or array (such as enabling LVM) will delete all volumes and data from the
disk or array. Back up any important data before making any configuration changes!
