Like below: # Use only names from /dev/mapper directory filter = [ "a|/dev/mapper/.*|", "r/.*/" ] > the device nodes /dev/dm-X are not automaticaly created like they get on > debian, I did run dmsetup mknodes which did not create /dev/dm-X nodes, so > i created /dev/dm-0 with the minor/major of the corresponding /dev/mapper/ > node. I don't know if this is a problem. This is odd, maybe something to do with udev rules? Anyway, you don't need /dev/dm-X nodes if you use LVM filtering. _______________________________________________ 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/
