=LVM Continued / User & Group Management=
In this lab, we will continue to use LVM in order to make our file system(s) more flexible. We will also learn how to manage user accounts (eg. creation and removal). We will also learn how to setup accounts that automatically contain pre-existing files to make account creation easier for the system administrator. We will also learn how to manage groups to allow users to share resources (eg. files).
