Comparison analysis of standard disk partitioning and LVM based disk partitioning on Linux systems

Linux systems became the platform to run desktops, servers, and embedded systems across the globe. No matter what are the capabilities of the system, operating system should provide reliable and secure usage of all system components. In order to improve and ease memory management of the system this paper presents LVM based partitioning modes as an alternative to standard partitioning model. Comparison analysis of presented partitioning models is given in order to help the developers to determine the best choice for specific systems and situations.
