Then I typed evmsn to start the ncurses version of the evms administration interface.
然后输入evmsn启动ncurses版本的evms管理界面。
In addition, if you have X available, then you may want to consider using evmsgui, the GTK + -based evms administration interface.
另外，如果您有X，那么可以考虑使用evmsgui，这是一个基于GTK +的evms管理界面。
While EVMS can see all the storage resources on your system, it may not create /dev/evms/ device node entries for all of the resources it finds.
尽管EVMS可以看到系统上所有的存储资源，但它可能不会为它找到的所有资源都创建 /dev/evms/设备节点项。
The answer is that one of EVMS' jobs is to create a unified namespace for all the volumes on your system, and it creates this namespace under /dev/evms.
EVMS的工作之一是为系统上所有的卷创建统一的名称空间，而且它将这个名称空间创建在 /dev/evms 之下。
Now would be a good time to mention that if you aren't using devfs, you may need to run the evms_devnode_fixup program to bring your /dev/evms namespace up-to-date.
现在正是一个最佳时间来指出：如果您没有在用devfs，那么您可能需要运行 evms_devnode_fixup程序来更新 /dev/evms名称空间。
Now, back to my example vmware EVMS configuration.
现在，回到vmwareEVMS配置示例。
Our first step is head over to the home of the EVMS project.
我们的第一步是访问 EVMS项目的主页。
One such capability in the 1.0.1 release is the EVMS snapshot feature.
发行版中的一个这样的功能是EVMS快照特性。
Next, we'll apply the EVMS patch specific to our particular kernel version.
接下来，应用专门针对特定内核版本的evms补丁。
Not only that, but EVMS is compatible with all your existing Linux technologies.
不仅如此，EVMS还与所有现有的Linux技术兼容。
Again, EVMS is sophisticated, but its behavior can be a bit confusing at first glance.
这再一次说明了EVMS很巧妙，但乍一看它的行为稍微有点费解。
Unfortunately, actually showing you how to use EVMS will need to wait until my next article.
遗憾的是，必需等到我的下一篇文章才能真正向您展示如何使用EVMS。
The best way to start playing with EVMS is to find a spare hard drive and install it in your system.
开始使用EVMS的最佳方法是找一个空闲的硬盘，并将其安装到系统上。
Of course, you can also simply plug a new hard drive into your existing EVMS-enabled system if you so choose.
当然，也可以选择仅仅将一个新硬盘挂装在已有的支持EVMS 的系统上。
This archive contains the EVMS userspace tools as well as patches that we need to apply to a kernel source tree.
这个压缩文档包含EVMS 用户空间工具以及我们需要应用到内核源代码树的补丁。
Under the "Latest file releases" section of the page, you should see an entry for the most recent version of EVMS.
在该页的“Latestfilereleases”一节，您应该可以看到EVMS的最新版本的入口。
While EVMS is compatible with your existing storage arrangement, it also offers new, heretofore unavailable capabilities.
EVMS不但与您现有的存储管理兼容，而且还提供了新的、您迄今为止未曾获得的功能。
This is a very good behavior, since the disk theoretically could contain some important data that EVMS simply can't recognize.
这是一个极好的行为，因为理论上磁盘可能包含一些EVMS完全不能识别的重要数据。
EVMS calls these final storage objects "logical volumes," whether they happen actually to be disks, partitions, or LVM logical volumes.
EVMS将这些最终存储对象统称为“逻辑卷”，而不管它们实际上正好是磁盘、分区，还是LVM逻辑卷。
To get EVMS up and running, we'll grab the EVMS source archive, unpack it, and use the included kernel patches to patch a kernel source tree.
要让EVMS启动和运行起来，得先获取evms源代码压缩文档，然后将它解压缩，并用其中所包含的内核补丁给内核源代码树打补丁。
To complete the installation, we'll configure, build, and reboot with an EVMS-enabled kernel; after the system reboots, EVMS will be ready for use.
为了完成安装，我们将配置和构建支持EVMS的内核，并用它进行重新引导；在系统重新引导之后，EVMS已经就绪，可以使用它了。
EVMS can see the "big picture"; it can see exactly how everything is layered, from the filesystem all the way down to the physical disks holding the data.
EVMS可以看见“总览图”；它可以确切地知道每件东西是如何分层的，从文件系统一直到底层保存数据的物理磁盘。
In fact, EVMS currently offers your choice of a command-line interface, an ncurses-based interface, and a fantastic storage management GUI written in GTK +.
实际上，EVMS目前向您提供的选项包括命令行界面、基于ncurses的界面和用gtk +编写的很棒的存储管理GUI。
That means that in order to create an EVMS-enabled kernel, we should apply these patches against a stock kernel source tree that we download from kernel.org.
这意味着为了创建支持EVMS的内核，我们应该对从kernel.org下载的现成的内核源代码树应用这些补丁。
Below, I've followed this approach by booting a Gentoo Linux Game CD (see Resources later in this article), which actually happens to include EVMS 1.0.1 support.
下面，通过引导GentooLinuxGameCD(请参阅本文后面的参考资料)，我遵循了这个方法，这张CD实际上正好包含了EVMS1.0.1支持。
While EVMS supports LVM snapshots, its own exclusive snapshot capability is much more powerful, since you can snapshot any type of volume, even a standard Linux partition!
虽然EVMS支持LVM快照，但它自己独有的快照功能要强大得多，因为您可以快照任何类型的卷，甚至是标准的Linux分区！
This demonstrates an important principle that EVMS follows: it will only create device nodes for the final (not intermediate) storage objects that it finds on your system.
这说明了EVMS遵循的一个重要原则：它只为它在系统上找到的最终(而不是临时)存储对象创建设备节点。
Of course, I didn't have room to cover these topics in this article, but I hope to be able to touch on some of these EVMS applications intermittently throughout the next year.
当然，本文中我没有留出篇幅涉及这些主题，但我希望在明年能陆续讨论其中某些EVMS应用程序。
Once we choose a segment manager, EVMS will put some metadata on our disk, creating a master boot record and marking the rest of the space on our disk as "freespace," available for new segments.
一旦我们选择了段管理器，EVMS会在磁盘上存放一些元数据，同时创建主引导记录并将磁盘上的剩余空间标记为“freespace”，使之用于新段。
