screenshot of the cvs version
Linux contains a wildly powerful Logical Volume Manager which allows you to combine and mangle your disks to create very flexible volumes for your filesystems.
Some time ago I started an effort to make an LVM HOWTO, which prompted me to write this program.
| 2000-04-20 | Released lvm-viewer 0.2, which could actually be called lvm-manager already. Very buggy, lots of problems, but mostly feature complete. If you do C and GTK+, try to resolve some FIXMEs! This release is mostly to show that things are moving, and to get people interested, both in using and in developing for it |
| 2000-04-15 | Still about halfway done :-( Realised that I had to reorganise the code to progress further. Spent today cutting up the source into multiple independent pieces, and unifying entity data into the lvm_data struct. Lots of new features however (see the updated screenshot), the brave may want to try the CVS version (which WILL eat your volumes, unasked) |
| 2000-04-10 | About halfway done on the move from lvm-viewer to lvm-manager. The CVS version already has lots of functionality but is also very much a Work In Progress. See the updated screenshot! |
| 2000-04-06 | Initial version online |
Current version is 0.2 but furious development is going on - try the cvs version if you have problems, they may be fixed. Version 0.1 is more stable, but misses a lot of features compared to 0.2.
Version 0.2 is dangerous! Don't use on production systems!
| Version | Filename | Description | Known issues |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.2 | lvm-viewer-0.2.tar.gz | Sources and an i386 binary suitable for most modern distributions | Lots and lots of bugs. Unexpected functionality. Will eat data. |
| 0.1 | lvm-viewer-0.1.tar.gz | Sources and an i386 binary suitable for most modern distributions | Doesn't display Physical Volumes not attached to a Volume Group. Always shows Volume Groups as Unavailable. |
A CVS tree is available. try this:
