NAME

       system-config-lvm - GUI for LVM

SYNOPSIS

       system-config-lvm

DESCRIPTION

       system-config-lvm  provides a graphical interface to the LVM tools (and related utilities, including fsck
       and resize2fs) which is good for non-emergency storage administration.

       It enables you to manage your logical volume and filesystem configuration with a few mouse clicks, and it
       prevents potentially disastrous mistakes using commandline such as reducing a logical volume size  before
       reducing the filesystem contained within that volume.

       WARNING:
       system-config-lvm  does  not  recognize  RAID  elements  as  being  in  use,  and therefore lists them as
       "Unitnitialized Entities". If you are using a LVM-on-RAID configuration, system-config-lvm will  let  you
       wipe out RAID elements by making them into PVs, so be careful about that.

       system-config-lvm  does  exactly  what  you  tell  it to do, so watch your click and think about it twice
       before acting.
