[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.

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.

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,
