>The LVM plug-in combines storage objects into groups called containers.
From these containers, new storage objects can be created, with a variety of
mappings to the consumed objects. Containers allow the storage capacity of
several objects to be combined, allow additional storage to be added in the future,
and allow for easy resizing of the produced objects.</P
