I see that with lvcreate there is the ability to create a logical volume on a specified physical volume; but in system-config-lvm I do not see how to do that (I can only see how to set the size of the LV from the free space available in the VG; I don't see how to specify on which PV it should be created). Obviously if I'm missing something please let me know; but otherwise I was just curious as to why that feature wasn't available in the GUI (i.e., is it problematic, or something I should try to avoid for some other reason)? Many thanks, Dan Ragle
