A while ago I was looking at changing teh size of a partition on a 2 TB drive I had on a home server/HTPC. It was going to take days, or did take days, or something I can't remember. But I do remember learning about LVM & how it was better for managing large disk spaces.
OK, so I'm rebuilding this PC only now I have a 120GB SSD drive for my normal partitions and the 2 TB drive just for data. With the large drive just one big data partitions, does LVM do anything for me? If I ever need more space, I don't see adding drives. I'll just swap out for a 4 TB drive or something.
