Hi,
      I want to know that where the LVM meta data is stored and how we can modify it?

Thanking You,
-Karan

[linux-lvm] I have started writing a KDE program for LVM

[ben scott]

I have a program on sourceforge.net called kvpm. It is a KDE version 4 gui 
wrapper for the LVM tools. It needs the kdelibs version 4 headers but not the 
full kde 4 base installation. It is still very alpha but I really would like 
to get some feedback on it. 

Also, has there been any progress towards an lvm library?

Thank you.

Slow progress so far but it is being worked on.

Do you have specific requirements and/or use cases you can share?  Are
they straightforward things such as pvcreate, vgcreate, lvcreate, and
displaying of PVs, VGs, and LVs, or are there more complicated things?

Anything you can share would be appreciated.

Ultimately I would like to have a GUI interface that can do anything
the CLI can do. However just having a library for reading the information
like vgs, pvs and lvs would be really nice.

Thank you.

In the version we use (2.02.21), there is a library interface
(lvm2_run) that essentially allows one to run any LVM command and get
its output without having to fork. The problem, of course, is the
effort of parsing the output well.

[jim parsons]

Have you seen the gnome application system-config-lvm? There is also a
web based version which is part of conga...just thought you may wish to
know for due diligence purposes.

[linux-lvm] Has anyone tried kvpm?

[ben scott]

I see several people have dowloaded kvpm from sourceforge. Has anyone tried 
it? Don't be afraid to say it sucks, just tell me why. :-)
