On my system, / and /boot are on regular partitions. bash-2.05b$ df /boot Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 99134 13828 80187 15% /boot bash-2.05b$ df /usr Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/Volume00/LV_usr 4031680 2151280 1675600 57% /usr I'd like to distinguish between these two without hardcoding knowledge of device or volume names into my script. One thing I have considered is doing an ls -l on the device name and checking for the lvm major. Of course, then I would have to hardcode the lvm major into my script. I just figured someone must have a better way to do this. 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/
