130 * On GNU/Linux distributions, `LVM (Logical Volume Manager) 130 * If you need to grow the storage area as more space becomes needed,
131 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux)>`__ 131 you can consider the following solutions:
132 can be used to dynamically and easily grow the storage area as more 132
133 space becomes needed. 133 - Move the storage area to another disk partition, and update the
134 ``StorageDirectory`` :ref:`configuration option <configuration>`
135 accordingly.
136 - :ref:`Replicate <replication>` your current instance of Orthanc
137 onto another instance of Orthanc with a larger storage area.
138 - On GNU/Linux distributions, check out `LVM (Logical Volume Manager)
139 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux)>`__.
140 - On Microsoft Windows, check out the so-called "`Storage Spaces
141 <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/overview>`__".
142 - Another approach is to use `MinIO <https://docs.min.io/>`__ in
143 distributed mode in conjunction with the :ref:`AWS S3 plugin
144 <minio>` for Orthanc.
