How about a file called /etc/lvtab in contrast to /etc/fstab where we specify the logical volumes name and their mountpoint. If a logical volumes name is not found there it's either not mounted at all or we could also default to mounting it at /var/lvname. /etc/lvmtab is already taken by the lvmtools, so I suggest /etc/lvtab Maybe any other better distinguishable names for this file? -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock Linux Services Lobenstock URL: http://www.lsl.at/ Email: fl...@fl... ____________________________________________________________________ |

Ok, that's about what I thought to do. Let's introduce a switch, eg. LVM_MOUNT_DEFAULT="/var" or ="" in /etc/sysconfig/config to switch between both behaviours. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock Linux Services Lobenstock URL: http://www.lsl.at/ Email: fl...@fl... ____________________________________________________________________ |

I would say we don't give a choice to the user, it's always /var. 1) variable data has to be under /var 2) mount point must exist and we can only create them in /var, since the CD is read-only -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org |

As it is more similar to /etc/fstab I think we really should place it in /etc. So rather stay with /etc/lvtab and see if people confuse it or not. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock Linux Services Lobenstock URL: http://www.lsl.at/ Email: fl...@fl... ____________________________________________________________________ |

I would simply supply a default /etc/lvtab file with the following: #lvname:directory swap:swap home:/home opt:/opt Anything not found in the /etc/lvtab gets mounted in /var/<name> People are free to add their own entries, or make changes in lvtab.

If we add the varibale LVM_MOUNT_DEFAULT where we specify the default mount point the user can decide which is the default mount point. Now he can even decide to have lv's not mentioned in /etc/lvtab to be not mounted at all by setting LVM_MOUNT_DEFAULT to "". Eg. I would do the last one as I really would want to control everything. About the format of /etc/lvtab. I would keep it the same as /etc/fstab with the only difference being that we do not specify the device but just the lv's name. Maybe the user is allowed to omit the columns after the mount point and the script uses some default values, eg. swap swap home /home opt /opt or swap swap home /home auto user,noauto,uid=500 0 0 opt /opt -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock Linux Services Lobenstock URL: http://www.lsl.at/ Email: fl...@fl... ____________________________________________________________________ |
