And what happens then in that situation - do you loose any

In a few words, if your hardware is high-quality, i.e. reliable enough so you
don't expect problems, LVM adds important functionality and flexibility on
servers.
In any case, the need for good backups should not be overlooked. For example,
mondorescue allows both full and incremental backups, using LVM or not.
Thanks for that link Nick - I have bookmarked that. I'm
looking for work as a Linux System Administrator so will
check that out as well.
Kind Regards,
Keith
