.TH SYSTEM-CONFIG-LVM 8x "2010-02-03" "system-config-lvm"
.SH NAME
system-config-lvm \- GUI for LVM
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B system-config-lvm
.SH 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.
.PP
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.
.PP
WARNING:
.br
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.
.PP
system-config-lvm does exactly what you tell it to do, so watch your click and
think about it twice before acting.
