Vojtech Trefny has been working on blivet-gui for more than one year as a storage and partition manager for Fedora. Blivet-GUI's design was originally inspired by the popular GParted interface while using the Blivet back-end library for storage management that's used by Fedora's Anaconda Installer. Blivet-GUI is now in process of having an overhauled user-interface.

Vojtěch Trefný is working on improving the UI particularly for "complex" storage configurations with RAID arrays and encrypted block devices. These non-standard drive configurations would be displayed much more concisely and easier for the user to understand.


Right now the new blivet-gui design mostly appears to be mock-ups, but he's hoping that the new interface for Blivet-GUI will be done by late July. More details via this blog post.
