If that is a verbatim homework question (it does sound like one) then it would be against the LQ rules.

Have some I.T. homework due tomorrow? It might be easier just to copy and paste off Wikipedia:

Personally, I like LVM because it allows me to isolate various parts of my system on a lot of tiny virtual partitions. I can create these partitions really small and then easily grow them later when necessary.

The only downside I've ever experienced with LVM is that it has given me a few headaches occasionally related to kernel, initramfs, or boot loader configuration. My root partition is on LVM (and RAID) I often forget to include a relevant module or script line somewhere.
