Speaking of Zumastor - is it equivalent (or just a part of something

There was supposed to be a presentation titled "LVM3 Advanced Volume

you know if it's available anywhere (yet)?

For application installation it should work just fine (as it is what it 
does), but for some more thorough GUI testing...? Anyway, we're getting
