[linux-lvm] Graphical tool to configure LVM for RedHat 8

[linux-lvm] Graphical tool to configure LVM for RedHat 8

[Ma, Thanh(IndSys, GE Interlogix)]

The command line tools are great but I just wonder if there is a graphical tool to do the same thing (for RedHat, BTW) ?

Thanks,
Thanh

I  know  RedHat  8  (graphical)  installation  has support for LVM and
creating  of  LVM  arrays.  However,  I have no idea if such tools are
included after the installation.

In  any case. I do no recommend using 3rd party tools to configure and
manage your disks.

Frankly, given the number of times you use any of the
commands and the limited number of options (usually just
-L<size> vgXX for lvcreate) it's probably simper to use
the command line interface and be done with it.

try a google search for 
lvmgui [java] and lvmviewer[perl i think]
both were the a bit abandend the last time i tried them,
but hopefully they'll work with RH8

may be( just may be) another solution would be 
the tools provided with mandrake (diskdrake) or eventualy
the EVMS GUI (see http://evms.sf.net )

if you find some other pointers, drop a line :)
by the way SuSE had a perfect text(ncurses) installer(manager) for lvm since
SuSE 6.4 (i think about a year or two ago)


a lot of Luck,

Recent webmin versions include a plugin to manage LVM. I haven't tried
It, and I agree witht the other people about using the command line
utilities, but in any case,go to www.webmin.com and give it a try.
