Well.. The reason I say to do it this way is because lvdisplay doesn't seem to give an "error" code on return (it's always 0) when it's not a logical volume. It does display an error message that you'd have to parse the output for a specific error message. This should work for LVM, but not sure about LVM2 because I haven't personally had a chance to play with it. It may work for both, but I'm not sure.

Will this method work for LVM2 as well? 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/ _______________________________________________ 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/
