LBA

LBA (Logical Block Addressing) - the method of addressing a sector on a hard drive. The original implementation of LBA used 28 bits for the address, allowing a maximum hard drive size of 128GB with 512-byte sectors.

LBA48

LBA48 - the variation of LBA which uses 48 bits for a sector address. It allows using disks larger than 128GB (137 decimal gigabytes) without increasing the sector size.

LDM

LDM (Local Disk Manager) - Windows component which works with dynamic disks and software RAIDs.

Log file

Log file - see Journaling filesystem.

Logical damage

Logical damage - failures not related to mechanical damage of the system components. It can be either a filesystem failure or a failure of RAID controlling software.

Logical drive

A part of the Extended Partition in MBR (basic) disks.

Lost clusters

Lost clusters - a filesystem error when a cluster is marked as occupied but it doesn't belong to any file.

Low level format

Low level format, also known as "complete format" - a type of the format process when data is deleted irreversibly (it is impossible to recover overwritten data).

LUN

LUN (Logical Unit Number) - a part of device address in the SCSI standard.

LVM

LVM (Logical Volume Manager) - a partitioning technology used in Linux. LVM allows one to change partition sizes easily.
