Description:
 Kvpm is a KDE (version 4) GUI for the Linux
Volume Manager project and
libparted. It needs KDE 4 libraries and headers
installed. It uses the
standard lvm tools and programs to work with
logical volumes. It also
can format volumes and mount them. It uses
libparted to create or delete partitions. LVM
tools MUST be installed for this program to
function. That limitation may be removed soon
however.

This program is currently being developed on lvm
version:

#lvs --version
  LVM version:     2.02.39 (2008-06-27)
  Library version: 1.02.27 (2008-06-25)
  Driver version:  4.13.0



Because kvpm relies on the exact format of the lvm
program
output it probably won't work correctly with
earlier versions.

The following development headers need to be
installed for compilation:

libparted version 1.8
libblkid
kdelibs version 4



To compile the source just "cd" into the source
directory then run
"cmake -i" and answer the questions. Next run
"make" and if all goes
well you will have a working executable.
