Yes, sadly, this is true.  EVMS is dying or dead and there's nothing else on the
horizon that looks to be anywhere close to as good.  system-config-lvm shows
promise, but it doesn't handle RAID.

John, do you know specifically what has broken EVMS' MD management in kernel
2.6.29 and later?  I posted a question about that problem here
(http://www.nabble.com/%22array-md0-already-has-disks%22-with-kernel-2.6.29-td23131323.html)
and there's a Gentoo bug report about it
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273902). No one seems to know what the
problem is.  If EVMS is really permanently broken as of kernel 2.6.29, we need
to know that.

Thanks, Andrew.
