The explanation of the attribute bits printed by the program "vgs" in the man page are as follows: The vg_attr bits are: (w)riteable, (r)ead only, resi(z)eable, e(x)ported, (p)artial and (c)lustered. However "vgs" on my debian Etch system prints out this way: wz--n- LVM version: 2.02.07 (2006-07-17) Library version: 1.02.12 (2006-10-13) Driver version: 4.7.0 Could someone please explain to me what the "n" stands for and which columns get the other bits. I am trying to write a parser for this output. Thank you. _______________________________________________ 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/
