Hello, Is it possible to know what partitions are the member of RAID and LVM without config files (i.e. /etc/raidtab and /etc/lvm/*)? I want to make a remote backup/restore utility. (Boot via PXE, pass initrd with sshd, login via ssh, mount HDD, and backup/restore.) I want to backup/restore all files using afio including RAID and LVM partitions, but I don't know 'how to know the member of RAID and LVM partitions'. If fdisk says Partition: ID: /dev/sda1 fd /dev/sda2 fd /dev/sda3 fd /dev/sda5 8e /dev/sda6 8e /dev/sda7 8e /dev/sda8 8e /dev/sda9 8e can I somehow know what partitions are the member of /dev/md0, /dev/md1, and what partitions are the member of /dev/vg00 and /dev/vg01 without config files? Is some persistent information kept within these partitions and kernel can detect these information without config files? Regards. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
