Description
yes, i know there is gparted, but it is very minimal at best. It would be nice if we could create/manage raid devices and LVM through a graphical user interface.

evmsgui is a nice start, but unmaintained, not very shiny, and slightly buggy (not critically so though).
It does let you manage non-evms drives/partitions too.

Simply MEPIS has a great GUI for partition.

I agree with you that evms is a good idea, but buggy.

Yeah, sounds great! A better Gparted with Raid support, LVM, creation/restore of disk images.

I have had good luck using the .deb package in the repos at www.debuntu.com (http://repository.debuntu.org/). It's a straight-up repackage of Fedora's app.
If we could bring this into the mainline it would rock.

A lot of new users coming to Linux want to set up their system with one / partition. (Like Windows). I think that an easy to use partition/RAID/LVM storage configuration interface would help ease users into a system that is more like Linux instead of Windows.
With a default install, the system can use LVM and break up the system into multiple filesystem (like a real Linux system). One add-on would be an easy to use tool to increase filesystem space when necessary. Since it would use LVM, resizing the filesytem is easy. But the interface would need to be simple for those unfamiliar with LVM.
