"LVM supports enterprise level volume management of disk and disk subsystems by grouping arbitrary disks into volume groups. The total capacity of volume groups can be allocated to logical volumes, which are accessed as regular block devices.
Further, LVM provides logical separation of storage, the ability to move data from one physical device to another while on-line, and dynamic block device resizing. LVM also enables system administrators to upgrade systems, remove failing disks, reorganize workloads, and adapt to changing system needs, through a minimum amount of time and effort. "

"Microsoft issued four security bulletins overnight, related to its Windows operating system and SQL Server database software.
The company said late Wednesday that a bug in a Windows help file could let a hacker seize control of a person's computer. The bug affects most currently supported versions of Windows: 98, 98 Second Edition, Millennium Edition, XP, NT 4, NT 4 Terminal Server Edition and 2000. Microsoft reported two separate problems with the help file system, which warranted issuing a "critical" alert.
Microsoft also issued two "moderate" alerts, one identifying two separate security bugs involving compressed files and the other three problems with Microsoft's Services for Unix 3. A fourth critical alert advised of a cumulative patch for protecting SQL Server 7 and 2000 from hackers."
