The GNU/Linux operating system is blessed to have sound partition management tools like GParted which are very easy to use. However, when it comes to the management of 'virtual partitions' known as volumes, things are quite different. There is Linux Volume Management, or LVM for short, however it can only really be used from the command line.

...at the point where he said LVM is Linux Volume Management. LVM stands for Logical Volume Manager, and it was not invented with the birth of Linux. We use LVM all the time on various Unix boxes and god help us if we needed to use GUI. Linux LVM is a copy of the one HP-UX has, which is complete crap i have to admit that. Not to mention GRUB can't boot from LVM, which is like "WTF?!?!"
