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.
