This document discusses managing logical volumes using LVM. It covers: 1. Creating a volume group from physical volumes and then creating a logical volume within that volume group. 2. Extending the size of a logical volume by first extending the volume group with an additional physical volume, then resizing the logical volume. 3. Reducing the size of a logical volume by first unmounting, checking and resizing the file system, then reducing the logical volume size.
