W10_L5: Managing storage

Welcome to Week 10 Lecture 5 of the course "Introduction to the Linux Shell" by Gandham Phanikumar. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/es/course_pages/CS1102.html Video Overview In this lecture, you will explore advanced Linux storage management concepts focusing on Logical Volume Management (LVM) and RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks). The session explains how to combine multiple physical disks into a single logical volume using LVM, enabling flexible and scalable storage solutions. You will also learn about different RAID configurations—RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6—and understand how each level balances performance, data redundancy, and fault tolerance. The lecture highlights key trade-offs between capacity, speed, and reliability when setting up RAID for various applications, ranging from personal desktops to large-scale computing systems. Real-world examples of LVM and RAID usage in desktops, cloud environments, and supercomputers demonstrate how these technologies are applied to optimize storage efficiency and system resilience.
