Some volume operations, such as expanding and shrinking, may require that the volume be mounted or unmounted before you can perform the operation. EVMS lets you mount and unmount volumes from within EVMS without having to go to a separate terminal session.

EVMS performs the mount and unmount operations immediately. It does not wait until the changes are saved.
