Need to map out logical volumes

[Andy Stout]

I'm trying to map out my logical volumes to actual directories on my server. I think BDF/pvdisplay/lvdisplay/vgdisplay gets me most of what I want. The only question is - how do I know what exactly is in "/" my lvol3 is listed as that and I want to know what directories are included.

[GGA]

are u mean what directoris and files in / ?
cd /
ls
or u mean
vgdisplay vg00 ?
lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol?

regards gga

Run "ls -F /" This will identify all the directories in /. Then look at your output from bdf. Ignore directories listed in the output from bdf. Those will be separate filesystems that will are included with other lvols.

/ is the top level directory and as such, there will be mountpoints as well as files and directories that are part of / (and therefore lvol3). This command:

ll /

will show all the files and directories at the top. Just subtract the mountpoints shown in bdf or mount -p, just pipe into awk to show field 2:

mount -p | awk '{print $2}'

Anything in / that is not part of the above list is in /.

Thanks everyone - I think I've got the info I need.
