The GNU/Linux operating system is blessed to have sound partition management tools like GParted which are very easy to use. However, when it comes to the management of ‘virtual partitions’ known as volumes, things are quite different. There is Linx Volume Management, or LVM for short, however it can only really be used from the command line. Also, it doesn’t integrate software RAID – except for striping. I was quite optimistic when I started using volume management some four years ago, but not anymore. Let me explain why I’m disappointed.
