However, it's really way beyond me why this great functionality is restricted to install time only. Why can't I do RAID and LVM easily from the desktop to setup external drives? (Sure, you can say system-config-lvm is one answer for LVM at least but that leaves RAID out of the question.) That's why I started writing a Disk Utility for GNOME - the plan is for it to work much like Mac OS X's Disk Uility and also do RAID / LVM, here's a very early screenshot http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/gdu-2.png It uses HAL and PolicyKit so we'll also get out of that "run X11 apps as root" trap plus once we teach HAL about RAID / LVM we can add options to g-v-m such as [ ] Assemble RAID arrays when hotplugged [ ] Set up Logical Volumes when hotplugged etc. etc. David -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
