Description Corey Marthaler 2007-08-06 18:55:18 UTC

Description of problem:
This issue is certainly open to debate, but I've found GUIs that grey out
operations which are not *currently* possible rather then just removing them to
be more intuitive. 

The specific cases I've noticed (but not limited too) are...
A) the removal of logical volumes 
B) the snapshoting of logical volumes
C) the ability to change logical volume size

What cause the above cases to not be possible are...
A) if it currently has at least one snapshot
B) if there is no longer any free space in the volume group
C) if it is active with at least one snapshot

So I can have three logical volumes and when I click on each, three different
set of operations show up in their specific lv menus. This was confusing until I
realized those operations weren't currently possible.
