📚 LVM Tutorials
Disk management in Linux environments using LVM provides a high-level view of the structure of disks present on a system. This gives much more flexibility in allocating storage to applications and users.

Linux users can have a virtual block device called a "loop device" that maps a normal file to a virtual block, making it ideal for tasks related to isolating processes.

💡Quick Terminal tip
You can remove empty directory recursively using the find command (don't do it blindly):
