Re: PB LVM - Special Characteres into lvmtab file
# strings /etc/lvmtab
or
# strings /etc/lvmtab_p
the file is a BINARY (!!!), so you will see strange things while doing cat or something else - no need to worry!
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: PB LVM - Special Characteres into lvmtab file
That is perfectly normal. Try reading the man page for strings(1). It says "strings looks for ASCII strings in a file. A string is any sequence of four or more printing characters ending with a newline or null character". That is what you are seeing. It translates as well as it can.

Re: PB LVM - Special Characteres into lvmtab file
Try
# strings -n 7 /etc/lvmtab
this will show strings with a minimum string length of 7.
But as said, it is a binary file, you cannot read it with vi, cat, or something.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: PB LVM - Special Characteres into lvmtab file
Hi,
As suggested by others, you can view /etc/lvmtab file using strings command.
There is a new command which is only supported in newer LVM version which will give you much better output of this file.
# lvmadm -l
Cheers...
