Partition manager that can handle LVM?
In RedHat's set of administration tools, there's system-config-lvm, which is optionally installable in other distributions like Fedora and Debian.
Recent versions of gnome-disk-utility support LVM.
The newly-released KDE 4.6 gains udisks as a Solid backend, which should provide LVM support. (Out of the three, this is the only one I haven't tried.)
In KDE there is 'kvpm' available.
I use it to handle all LVM related issue when I have a GUI available.
sudo apt-get install kvpm
What you really want to use is the lvm2 command-line tool lvm
to ensure complete control over how things are setup and managed.
I know, how snarky and elitist of me. The minimal set of commands you should learn are {pv,vg,lv}create
and their ^create^re{move,size}
counterparts. Particularly with the -r|--resize
flag for resizing.
This is very simple to figure out, and you will thank yourself graciously for not falling on the GUI utilities that are highly limited in functionality. I promise.
