I'm trying to update my backup script (a tweaked version of hostdump.sh from backupcentral.com) to use snapshots. My machine has a mix of normal ext3 and ext3 on lvm filesystems. What I'm looking for is an easy way from a shell script to determine the lv from the mount point. The ideal thing would be a shell function that takes the mount point as an argument and returns the associated logical volume, or an error if the filesystem doesn't use lvm. Suggestions? thanks, galen _______________________________________________ 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/
