Topic: Does Gparted recognize LVM?

Stupid question, I'm sure.  I'm simply trying to increase a linux swap space (Fedora Core 6, x86_64) from 2G to 4G.  The Gparted LiveCD seemed to fire up okay after I overcame some video card issues.  However, when I looked at the drives and partitions I did not see any evidence that Gparted recognized the partitions on my linux drive.  In fact, there was a little warning (!) indicating that it couldn't read or recognize the main file system (ext3).  I just don't get what could be going wrong. 

Here's what's in  /etc/fstab:
---------------------------------------
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

Here's a result of the "df" command:
----------------------------------------------
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                     300658944  15192732 269947288   6% /
/dev/sdc1               101086     11700     84167  13% /boot
tmpfs                  1026880         0   1026880   0% /dev/shm


So, my swap space is allocated to   /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
Is there any reason why Gparted can't recognize it and resize it? 

Thanks,
Jim

LVM is not yet implemented in GParted, unfortunatly...

Thanks LarryT.  You saved me a lot of hair pulling.  I guess I'll have to do a reinstall.
