LVM2 - text-based on-disk metadata - format-specific code in lib/format_text LVM1 - binary on-disk metadata - format-specific code in lib/format1 If you read the import*.[ch] and export*.[ch] files in the format specific directories you will get an understanding of the mapping. I also found following the label_read() function to be helpful. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
