    A volume group in LVM consists of physical storage devices that are used to create logical volumes, which act as logical partitions that can be dynamically resized without data loss. In contrast, partitions divide physical storage into fixed-size sections. LVM provides greater flexibility than partitions by allowing logical volumes and physical storage to be dynamically managed in a single volume group.

    A volume group (VG) in a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) setup is a collection of physical

    storage devices (such as hard drives) used to store Logical Volumes. A Logical Volume (LV) is
    a logical partition within the Volume Group.

    In contrast, partitions are a way of dividing a physical storage device (such as a hard drive) into
    separate sections, each with its own file system.

    The main difference between partitions and LVM is the level of abstraction and flexibility. With
    partitions, the size of each partition is fixed, and you cannot easily change it without losing data.
    With LVM, you can dynamically resize existing logical volumes, create new ones, or
    add/remove physical storage devices to/from the Volume Group. This allows for much more
    flexible storage management.

    Additionally, LVM also allows for adding multiple physical storage devices to a single Volume
    Group, which can simplify storage management and provide additional benefits such as data
    mirroring or snapshots.
