I've got a fedora system, who somebody has installed for me, and I don't precisely know what is:
lvm2pv
. I searched that LVM stands for "logical volume manager", but what is 2 and what ispv
here?- there are 2 partitions:
/boot
for boot partition - 100% clear, andfedora
for the second partition. But what exactly isfedora
- where is it on the hard drive? Is it something virtual? - the space used by boot is ~25% (113MB/500MB). The space used by fedora is 465GB/465GB, no space left. And this is not true, since this is a brand clear OS with lots of space free (
files
, the fedora file manager, shows that 8GB is used and 454GB is free to be used).
Please answer/explain above questions. I'm using gparted to display the partition settings.

andlvs
. My guess is that "lvm2pv" might be shorthand for "LVM to physical volume(s)"; "x2y" is a fairly common naming pattern for "x to y" translation.
