Comments on: Storage Management with an LVM GUI http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7796/ Open Source, Open Standards Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:48:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: bob mccarty http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7796/#comment-9459 bob mccarty Sun, 24 Apr 2011 20:29:36 +0000 http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7796/#comment-9459 Nice article. I read somewhere that the journaling ability of file systems is lost on LVM mounted file systems. If this is true, what happens if the machine is shut down suddenly because of power failure? Also, I would like to know if it is possible to create LVM volumes over existing file systems containing valuable data. Just thinking out loud y'all. Nice article.

I\'ve been running Red Hat/CentOS for a long time now, and to be honest never once looked at system-config-lvm. Although it\'s not terribly hard to do simple things, like grow an LVM home partition on the command line, more complicated tasks often become confusing.</p> <p>The GUI gives you a nice layout of everything in one screen, and looks like it really makes extending a volume group or logical volume very simple. Thanks again for sharing! </p> Thanks for the article and information. I\’ve been running Red Hat/CentOS for a long time now, and to be honest never once looked at system-config-lvm.
