# LVM Snapshot Manager (PyQt6)
Simple graphical GUI for managing LVM snapshots: create, delete, view usage (in % and MB), and see free space in volume groups.
*Screenshot of the LVM Snapshot Manager GUI on Fedora 42 KDE Plasma (with aerothemeplasma theme)*
## Features
- List logical volumes (LVs) with snapshots marked
- Create snapshots (select snapshot size)
- Delete snapshots (with confirmation)
- Mount snapshots (in specified mount point)
- Show snapshot usage in percent and MB
- Show free and used space in volume group (for LVs that are not snapshots)
- "Delete Snapshot" button enabled only for snapshots
- Tooltips and simple, intuitive interface
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- PyQt6
- LVM command line tools available (`lvs`, `lvcreate`, `lvremove`, `vgs`) on Linux
- Proper permissions to manage LVM (usually root or sudo)
## Installation
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
````
## Usage
```bash
sudo python lvm_manager.py
```
1. Select a logical volume from the list.
2. If it’s not a snapshot, you can create a snapshot by entering a name and selecting size, then clicking "Create Snapshot".
3. If it’s a snapshot, you can delete it by clicking "Delete Snapshot".
4. Below the list, snapshot usage or VG free space is displayed.
## Notes
* The app calls system LVM tools and needs appropriate permissions (run as root or with sudo).
* The GUI is minimal but functional. Feel free to extend it.
* Not production ready - needs testing!!!
