Per Google's AI Assistant report - Blivet GUI is an advanced graphical storage and partition management tool for Fedora, providing a user-friendly interface for the backend storage library used in the Anaconda installer. It acts as a more powerful alternative to GParted, allowing users to create, modify, delete, and encrypt storage devices (LVM, Btrfs, RAID) with a staged, "apply-on-demand" approach.
Key Usage Examples on Fedora:
Advanced Partitioning: Creating complex disk layouts, including encrypted partitions (LUKS).
LVM Management: Managing Logical Volume Manager (LVM) structures, including thin provisioning, PVs, and VGs.
Btrfs Support: Handling Btrfs RAID and subvolume snapshots.
System Installation: Serving as the "Advanced Custom" partitioning option in the Anaconda installer
to configure partitions, swap, or custom mount points. Staging Changes: Modifying storage settings,
staging the operations, and applying them all at once.
For instance to perform design below takes just a several minutes ( Fedora 44 Beta Server has been rolled forward up to current state ) . Afterwards KDE Plasma has been setup via `sudo dnf install @kde-desktop-environment`
One of several reasons to mount /var on a separate logical volume is the default path /var/lib/libvirt/images
root@fedoraServer:/var/lib/libvirt/images# df -Th .
