Hi!

This program gives you a graphical overview of your LVM setup. It was
written in conjunction with the LVM HOWTO which can be found on
http://ds9a.nl/lvm-howto (which you should read).

Currently it is only a viewer but I really want it to be a full blown
manager.

This program is open source, so anybody can contribute. Anything goes,
patches, critical remarks, ideas, documentation, you name it.

Location
--------

Our homepage is on http://ds9a.nl/lvm-viewer - you can also find out there
how to stay up to date with the latest code using CVS.

Licence & Copyright

The license is GPL of course. Read COPYING if you want more details.

Dependencies
------------

To run, you need:

	GTK+ 1.2.x
	glib 1.2.x
	libglade (I use 0.11)
	libxml

Should all be available on any modern Linux distribution. 

It goes without saying that the userspace lvm tools should be installed and
working. That is, vgscan -D should give reasonable output.
	
Running it
----------

You need to be root. Don't even think about adding a suid-bit unless you
have no desire for security. I do this:

$ xhost +localhost
localhost being added to access list
$ su
Password: v3rys3cr3t
# lvm-viewer

Take care that the lvm-viewer.glade file is in the same directory as the
binary.
