EVMS (Enterprise Volume Management System), from IBM, looks like one cool utility that allows centralized management of all your volumes and file systems. md, LVM, LVM2, ext2/3fs, reiserfs, jfs, xfs, DOS, BSD, MAC partitions, etc... etc... you name it, it's supposed to provide unified management for all of them.
It can be found at: http://evms.sourceforge.net/convert.html It has both an programmer-accessible engine as well as CLI and GUI tools. Anyone here tried it out yet? Does it really replace and free you from having to learn all the different file and volume management tools (i.e. raid, mdadm, mk*fs, resize*fs, lv*, pv*, vg*)? -- reply-to: a n d y @ n e o t i t a n s . c o m -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List plug@lists.q-linux.com (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
