In the previous lesson, you have learned how to set up partitions. Partitions are the foundation
of storage in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In RHEL, there's also a couple of advanced storage
solutions. To start with, there are LVM logical volumes. LVM stands for Logical Volume Manager.
LVM is used during default installation of RHEL since the 1990s. It was introduced to
add flexibility to storage. You should think of resize, snapshots, and much more. The other
option is Stratis. Stratis is a brand new introduction. It is available as final software
right now after some testing in the previous versions of RHEL. It's a next-generation volume
managing file system that uses TIM provisioning by default. What is special about Stratis is
that it is implemented in user space. That makes API access possible, and it makes it a very nice
solution to work with cloud and container applications.
