The main advantage is what it's name suggests. Logical Volume Management. It allows you to manage logical volumes in a single partition, but more importantly, it allows you to shrink or expand them while the system is up and running. With traditional partitions you had to estimate how much space you needed for partitions (good luck guessing!) and if you got it wrong or didn't like it, you would have to backup everything, wipe the hard drive, reformat/partition it, load everything back on, and then hope you get it right this time. After a few of those rounds, you just kinda thought "Heck with it, Good enough!"
LVM is leaps and bounds better!

What advantage does the Linux LVM have over traditional partitions?
Logical volumes do not have the same restrictions as physical volumes, regardless if it is created in Windows, Linux, MacOS, or any other operating system. The specific details of advantages of a LVM will be documented on their official project site.
On what types of computers can you use dynamic disks?
Virtual Machines commonly use dynamically expanding storage. Additionally, Linux can use LVM, which allows dynamic resizing of sub-partitions.
What advantages does LVM have over traditional partitions?
* use and allocate disk space more efficiently and flexibly * move logical volumes between different physical devices * have very large logical volumes span a number of physical devices * take snapshots of whole filesystems easily, allowing on-line backup of those filesystems * replace on-line drives without interruanpting services
How many partitions minimum does Linux require?
It should have the same limitations as any other operating system if you solely work with physical volumes - 4 primary partitions on MBR, unlimited on GPT (though Windows will limit it to 128). Otherwise, if you use something like LVM, it would be unlimited logical partitions, across a single disk or multiple disks.
What is LVM in Linux?
LVM is a logical volume manager for the Linux kernel; it manages disk drives and similar mass-storage devices.

What is the first step to using Linux lvm?
The first step to using a Linux LVM would be to install the program onto the Linux computer. The second step would be to activate the program and use the program for its purpose.
Why do Name Brand computers have hidden partitions?
Usually These 'Hidden Partitions Are Backup and Restore Partitions.

Why would you use extended partitions instead of addtional primary partitions?
There's a limit to the number of primary partitions per drive, 4. In order to get more than 4 drives out of one (if this takes your fancy) then you use an extended partition. To a low level program which doesnt speak fluent windows, everything on your extended partition appear as a single drive. Other than this their is no real advantage to extended partitions over primary partitions, but at windows level no significant disadvantage either
Can LVM be used to modify the size of a logical volume without affecting the use data?
Yes
