The blivet is a disk management library developed by python, and blivet-gui is its GUI version.

#LOGICAL VOLUME MANAGER XUBUNTU UPGRADE#

The Red Hat has stopped to upgrade system-config-lvm, and there is no such package in CentOS 7/RHEL 7, Its replacement is blivet-gui. Users can specify how many PVs should be used for LV to stripe type, but users neither cannot specify certain PVs nor cannot specify region in the PV.

Create LV (support three formats: Linear, Stripe and Mirror).

The version which shows non-lvm disks Supported operations I have tried two versions, one shows LVM devices existing in the system, namely PV/VG/LV only, no other devices The other can display non-lvm disks and PV can be removed in disk view. Some of them show both LVM devices and non-lvm devices (disk), the others show LVM devices only.

The different versions of system-config-lvm are not completely consistent in the organized way of devices. There are zoom in/zoom out buttons in the main view to control display ratio, but it is not enough for displaying complex LVM information.The right part displays details of the selected related objects (PV/LV/VG). The left part is tree view of disk devices and LVM devices (VGs) the middle part is the main view which shows VG usage, divided into LV and PV columns. Its user interface is divided into three parts. The system-config-lvm only supports lvm-related operations. The installation package includes RPM packages and DEB packages. So system-config-lvm is able to be used in other Linux distributions. Later, Red Hat also created an installation package for it. It is also called LVM GUI because it is the first one. The system-config-lvm is the first GUI LVM tool which was originally released as part of Red Hat Linux. system-config-lvm (alternate name LVM GUI) Let’s review them here to see the similarities and differences between individual tools.

So many software companies including Red Hat have launched some GUI-based LVM tools to help users manage LVM more easily. But LVM's operations and configuration are quite complex because of its own complexity. The management tools that come with LVM are based on the command line interface, which is very powerful and suitable for automated/batch operations.

It provides users with a variety of valuable features to fit different requirements. The LVM is a powerful storage management module which is included in all the distributions of Linux now.
