IIRC it's been available in Debian since lenny in 2009. But yes, if you
began using linux in, say, 1994 or so,
that's "recently".... ;-)

It's hard to overstate just how much flexibility LVM brings to the table in
the day job. And if you've done any AIX work, it's basically a port of
AIX's LVM, so you already know it. Frankly I use it at home now too, disks
are big these days. AND (pet peeve...) you don't need to partition beneath
it anymore.
