Logical Volume Management. It allows you more flexibility in
allocating storage for filesystems. See the HOWTO for more info:
http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html
especially
http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/whatisvolman.html
Your existing system is probably already set up with it.

You still need a normal ~100MB partition for the ext3 /boot
filesystem, but for the big partition assigned to LVM, it should be
type LVM.
