Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a way to format your drives which allows you to easily resize partitions, take snapshots, and stripe partitions across multiple disks. Many operations can also be done online while the partition is mounted.
Background

Logical volumes are the final partitions/blocks which you put your filesystem on.
