Centos GUI LVM
As LVM is becoming more and more mainstream, where some of the major distribution players like CentOS and Ubuntu with their latest 12.10 release, now installing on LVM by default, you may come across it sooner then you might think. With the above it will probably won’t be long before the time that you would want to administrate an LVM, to increase the space available on the volume for example… with that said, what could be more pleasant then having a nice graphical interface to do the job? Nothing, so lets install one.
Installation of the GUI LVM on Centos is as simple as it can get.
The utility that we will be using to perform the job is “system-config-lvm” from Redhat. as this utility has been repackaged for Ubuntu, the only difference between the two, is how you install it. Just type in the CLI:
yum install system-config-lvm
Once installed, you can issue the utility name with sudo for admin rights to launch it:
sudo system-config-lvm
For the ones that are using the Gnome Desktop this can be found under the System>Administration>Logical Volume Managament.
As we start the LVM GUI we can see that the tool offers us a Logical and Physical organization of the drives inside our Linux Distro.
LVM is a great tool to reconfigure your space and organize the partitions.
