Also can you give suggestion how can I get mails who is accessing root user..like when normal user do {"su"} to root..I want to get a message.

Hi Nag,

As a first pass, write a couple of scripts to run in cron, say, every 5 minutes, that:

a) run an lvdisplay on each lv, looking for stale extents. If it finds any, mail a designated user with the details

b) grep for su in the syslog and mail any matches. This would work better with a perl script running through a pipe so that you get mailed immediately, if that's what you want.

Rgds, Robin.
