You might want to look at EVMS on Linux. They have a few good ideas,
like building a library and API underneath the user interfaces. From
what I can see, that project has some nice underlying concepts, but the
user interfaces need to evolve for a few years. (Worst CLI ever, and the
GUI is very confusing.)
I wonder if that API could interface with vinum? It would be very nice
to have a cross-platform library interface to operate on disk volumes.
For that, it might even be worth improving the EVMS API, rather than
starting from scratch.
