Description: A volume group is a collection of logical volumes managed through a logical volume manager (LVM). This concept allows system administrators to group several physical volumes into a single logical set, facilitating storage management. Volume groups enable the creation of logical volumes that can be resized, moved, and managed more flexibly than traditional partitions. This is particularly useful in environments where storage capacity may vary or where high availability and performance are required. Volume groups are a key feature in many operating systems that use LVM to optimize disk space management. By allowing the aggregation of multiple storage devices, volume groups provide an efficient way to utilize available space, improving data organization and recovery in case of failures. Additionally, they offer the ability to take snapshots and backups of data, which is essential for protecting critical information.
