[linux-lvm] Tool to manage LVM

[linux-lvm] Tool to manage LVM

[Piter PUNK]

Hi,

	I am writing an small app to manage LVM. Currently it supports:

	1. Create and Remove Physical Volumes
	2. Create, Remove, Extend and Reduce Volume Groups
	3. Create and Remove Logical Volumes

	It have two user interfaces, one in dialog and other with the
fdisk behavior. The letters used in commands in fdisk interface can
be used as shortcuts in dialog interface.

	The idea of this app isn't to manage complex LVM setups, is more
to aid the LVM creation in small environments (but, who knows the
future?). I before made a real public release i want to add:

	1. Logical Volume resizing (with filesystem support)
	2. Snapshots

	The (1) is already being coded. The (2) will wait a little.

	If someone can test or help with suggestions or bug reports
or fixing my terrible english i will be very happy.

					Thanks!

Hi!

Sorry to interrupt but isn't this exactly the list of features from
EVMS? They have evmsn (ncurses interface) and emvsgui (GUI) to create,
resize, etc. volumes.

EVMS currently lacks active developers, maybe you can put your resources
into this project? http://evms.sourceforge.net/

Hi.

EVMS is a much more complex tool. lvmdisk tries to emulate the fdisk
behavior and to be a good tool to do the basic setup and management
(because that "basic" i think the Logical Volume resize is a need).

I read the page and don't think both tools have the same goals.
And my capabilities in C aren't very good.

					Thanks the answer!

Yast can do this. And I think Ubuntu also has something.
