System-config-lvm provides a graphical interface to the LVM tools (and related utilities, including fsck and resize2fs) which is good for non-emergency storage administration. It enables you to manage your logical volume and filesystem configuration with a few mouse clicks, and it prevents potentially- disasterous command-line mistakes such as reducing a logical volume size before reducing the filesystem contained within that volume.

(One word of warning: system-config-lvm does not recognize RAID elements as being in use, and therefore lists them as "Uninitialized Entities". If you are using a LVM-on-RAID configuration, system-config-lvm will let you wipe out RAID elements by making them into PVs. Be careful!)

Best GUI LVM tool. Simple interface to navigate - requires knowledge to utilize properly.

Works great on 17.1, runs from the launcher fine.

Apparently discontinued. To change the launcher, type in a terminal: sudo sed -i 's/\/usr\/bin\/system-config-lvm/\/usr\/share\/system-config-lvm\/system-config-lvm.py/g' /usr/bin/system-config-lvm

Will not start. You must replace /usr/bin/system-config-lvm WITH sudo /usr/share/system-config-lvm/system-config-lvm.py
