As a Linux/Ubuntu newbie, what is LVM and what is it used for?
In terms of a web server installation, what benefits does it provide?
Would you recommend using it?
I am a Linux/Ubuntu newbie installing Ubuntu Server 10.04 on a fresh box as a web server.
My box has two physical drives (40GB and 160GB), and I wish to use them both.
With no previous experience in installing Ubuntu, what partitions should I create that will best utilize my disk space, but also be stable with reasonable performance?
