SG/ EMS Resource Config Question

[Ron Cornwell]

Is there a way to monitor that a logical volume is mounted? I can currently do this by monitoring that there is free space in the filesystem, but if all space is used it will fail. I want the package to only fail if the logical volume becomes unavailable/ umounted. Thanks in advance. Ron

Hi Ron:

Given the mountpoint (directory) test whether the inode number is two (2). A mounted filesystem will always have an inode number of two.

# ls -id /myfs

...returns:

2 /myfs #...when mounted

Regards!

Hello Ron,

I use this trick in a script:
vgdisplay 2>&1|grep "VG Name"|cut -c29-40
It returns you a list of all volume groups your system can access.

hope this helps
Dirk

James - Thanks, I am currently in class and my teacher liked your answer. When I get back home I will definately use this.
