Very Good course, well explained, i have a learned alonew things that i didnt knew before and im already was fammiliar with the LVM subject. Highly recommanded for who'm want to expand their knowledge and practice with LVMs. More thing that i think you should add is "Disk Encryptions" as an add-on to the course topic. You can cover this in 3 short lectures

By Thomas Roberts on 4/10/2020

The course was good. I appreciated the labs to really solidify the information I was being taught. The information gained through this course is just what I was looking for to overcome specific issues I see in my current position. The one thing I would have really appreciated is a command cheat sheet that outlines all (or at least the most relevant) switch options. It did feel like their was a bit of jumping around with the commands. I think presenting something like this early in the course and referring back to it would have helped explain the commands better.

It was in-depth learning of Logical Volume manager. Trainer having hands-on expertise in the LVm domain and he provided small tips that were useful.

By Alceu Rodrigues de Freitas Junior on 10/17/2019

I learned a lot, but there is space for improvements, like avoiding repeating the some concepts again and again. Adding challenges/exercises would be great to engage the students.

Instructor was thorough in presenting his information. LOVE the labs. I believe all courses should consider adopting labs. Instructor presents relevant material in helping students learn about LVM. Look forward to taking other courses by this instructor.

Masterpiece ! I really Needed Help with this complex Subject. Tried other Vendors, but they either went too fast, or jumped around assuming you already knew something, Mr. Verma The Linux Doctor I like him, his courses start from the beginning to the End, with each section carefully explained. Whats Great about This Instructor is he not only explains the material in great Depth, he then demonstrates it to you. Not Many other instructors do that often enough, if they do its slide or very brief video . I will only buy Linux Videos From this Instructor

By Avinash Kumar on 2/19/2019

The course is very good for troubleshooting LVM issues for system admin. It gives you indepth knowledge on LVM troubleshooting.

By Ivan Vokhmin on 1/26/2019

I would like to say thanks to Shikhar Verma for this course. It covered all topics I needed to do part of my job, resize/move LVs on real loaded production servers. Many thanks!

By Mike Austin on 1/18/2019

I have a very good understanding of the LVM used in IBM's AIX Operating System, and simply wanted to contrast Red Hat's version to that of IBM. The Instruction did a great job in explaining the LVM internals and attributes.
