VCU was the problem, not LVM itself. VCU ran unannounced in the original IBM
Convenience Pak (formerly Fix Pak to most of us) and would erase any removable
HDD (e.g., ZIP disks) left in the machine. That teed a *lot* of people on
these lists, and led to some flames.

As far as I can tell, eCS fixed that (VCU did NOT run on my eCS 1.2 install,
which I mostly let go as it would to see what it did) and LVM by itself
(albeit with a poorly implemented interface) creates no problems that I have
seen. But I haven't had to see it except once during the install, and what one
sees then is a special eCS version. It's LVM Lite, if I understand correctly,
only a tiny bit more capable than our old friend FDISK, and looks a lot more
like FDISK than anything else.

You might want to try the new hdman112.zip at Hobbes. I haven't, but the
author says it's a better user interface for LVM than the infamous LVMGUI.
