Installation Volume Manager Location
« on: January 23, 2018, 08:10:46 pm »
Just installed on a new system. More to report on those issues later. But I've found that the Installation Volume Manager is not in the System Setup Folder anymore. After searching around, I found it in the Install/Remove Folder.

Personally I don't think this is correct. I expected to find it in the System Setup as before. Before I open a ticket, can anyone else report on the location they find it?

TIA

Here it is also in the Install/Remove folder. System Setup has the Logical Volume Manager (Advanced).

The LVM object in the Setup folder is the text based tool, which is not as easy to use as the Installation Volume Manager.

Whats anyone else opinion? Should a shadow be here?

Here, it seems to be the old GUI LVM manager installed in system setup and I don't see any objects for the text mod LVM manager, it does come up by entering lvm in a cmd console. This is 5.0.1. I'll check after with 5.0.1.8 but I doubt it has changed.

5.0.1.8 has both the simple (Installation Volume Manger) and advanced LVM programs installed in System Setup, so it seems the next release will be similar.
The next release is getting close.

My bad here. The version in the System Setup is the Java based GUI. I did not examine it too closely, just noticed it was not the one I wanted to use.
