I am new in ubuntu. Is root user disable in ubuntu? Also, is os partition default in ubuntu? I don't find any feature to create customize mount point to install OS.
Below is my current OS partition.
Also procedure to lvm management is similiar to Redhat?

Reason: Add CODE tags.
Good day. From looking at your df output, it would appear as though your hard drive in question has at least 2 partitions.
Basically you have your /boot partition at partition 1 (/dev/sda1) and the other is a dev mapping, which is using LVM. Thus your partition layout would most likely be:
/dev/sda1 = your /boot /dev/sda5 = extended partition (which can then encapsulate multiple partitions)
This is generally preferable, so you don't hit the maximum 4 primary partitions per hard drive. This can be seen by running: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
As for 51 GB, that is the current space allocated to the root (/) partition. This may / may not be enough. It is dependant on your individual preferences for extra packages that you install, if you download alot of media files, ISO's etc.
You may have more space unalloacted / unused in your VG. However, you would need to provide more details on that. Please run the following commands, and paste the output here so people have a better under standing of your particular setup.
