thanks for the reply. what/how is LVM. i've seen references to it.
See: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/whatisvolman.html
how do i know if i have it
You're not currently using it; you have good old-fashioned regular partitions.

have it, could i easily expand the '/' partition, without the use of parted? i'm willing to bet the server wasn't configured to use LVM when it was set up.
It wasn't. You'd have to do it as a fresh install.
