Is there a GUI front-end available/in-the-works/planned for LVM? I found Veritas' vxva front-end a gentler way to approach the world of volume management and something similar for LVM would be nice.

If there isn't anything, I might consider throwing one together.

Cheers,
Jason.

Jason,

There are a couple out there. Try searching for LVM on Freshmeat.net

I do see a couple. None of them appear to incorporate md support, which would be quite nice.

Imagine a GUI tool that would let you create and manipulate RAID devices (using md) and combine them or manage them using LVM. A convenient GUI to convert an existing non-md/lvm system to say LVM-managed RAID1 would be impressive too, even if it's a logistical nightmare. :)

Not that I have tons of free time, but I might tinker around with something this weekend.

Jason.
