I thought of that, but given that you need to configure the e-mail to send reports, and the snapshot size, we need another configuration file anyway. (We could sneek some of that information into the options field of fstab, since the kernel and other programs that parse that field just take what they need and ignore the rest, but.... ick, ick, ick. :-) Also, I could imagine that a user might not want to check all of the filesystems in fstab. > Alternately, using "lvscan" to check for mounted LVM filesystems and > their fstype is another option, since there is no guarantee that all > filesystems listed in /etc/fstab are on LVM.
