In storage terminology, what is a volume?

A volume is a logical container carved from a pool of physical disks. It provides a single space that you can format with a file system for use by an operating system, or present as a LUN to servers in a SAN environment. It is not a physical disk, nor a small parity stripe in a RAID, nor a network device. In practice, you create a volume within a pool, then the host mounts it or the storage array presents it as a LUN for access.
