| LVM uses hard drive partitions. They can be of any size. An LVM
| partition can contain many filesystems. A single filesystem or even a
| single file can be bigger than a single LVM partition. (I am

| But you can't normally share a single partition between both LVM and
| regular storage.

Thanks very much for the description. What I still don't know is what it
would do that I would want done. Which suggests to me that I probably
don't need it.
Please don't forget that anything LVM (and RAID) provides works on a blockdevice level
from the filesystems point of view --> lvm snapshops will contain an inconsistent
filesystem, just like after a powerloss.
