Partition Table

We’ll be creating partitions, /boot, /, swap, /var, /usr, /tmp and /home, with one virtual logical volume per mount point.

Having one virtual logical volume per mount point allows VM software to easily expand the disk and filesystem as required.

Select LVM

Again, This is to allow the virtual machine software to expand the DEV server disks more easily.
