LVM is not just about resizing partitions. But show me an actively developed tool under Linux that does that simpler and easier than LVM. Can that tool also grow a disk?

You do know that you don’t have to use LVM to resize partitions, right? The space you call “unusable” isn’t unusable. You can increase your partition sizes at any time (depending on the filesystem) even without LVM.

Personally, the benefits far out weigh any disadvantages. For my personal use, I can’t think of any.

Thanks.

Had no idea this existed. Strange because I have been using Linux for over two years.

Does LVM has any disadvantages?
