Yes. More or less. I was slightly misleading, however. It isn't important now (though you *do* want to plan ahead), but I should clarify, that migrating, e.g. to a new disk, usually means adding a new disk to an existing LVM volume/group, not creating a separate, new volume/group.
I hope I don't confuse you, perhaps I should stop talking now. But see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_volume_management and you might look at what this guy has to say: http://sunoano.name/ws/lvm.html Good Luck!
