I can't see anything about device major/minor nos. in /proc/swaps: # cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/vg1/swap partition 1048568 0 -1 Of course I can see the major/minor nos. if I list the device: # ls -l /dev/vg1/swap brw-rw---- 1 root disk 58, 1 Apr 5 22:28 /dev/vg1/swap So now I need to check if these are the same as when the device was swapped on. But no info in /proc/swaps... -- Best regards, | George Karaolides Planitis Communications Ltd., | | tel: +357 22 45 65 00 Office 102, 11 Florinis Street, | | web: www.planitis.net Nicosia CY 1065, | | email: george.karaolides@planitis.net Republic of Cyprus. | _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
