sorting lvols

[Nick D'Angelo]

Admins - I am sure this is an easy one for as I know I have seen it somewhere already, but for the life of me, I can not find it again.

I would like to sort my vg00/lvol1-9 and my vg02 lvol1-4 so that they appear in order when I do a bdf.

Suggestions?

Hi:

How about:

bdf | grep -v "Filesystem" | sort

Hi Nick,

Try,

bdf |sort

Hope this helps.

bdf |grep -e "vg00" |grep -e "vg02" |sort ?

Hi
Try
#bdf |sort -k 1

Thanks.
Prashant.

To add to all the info sort -n will put all your information in the numerical order you probably want.

Good Luck,

Hmm, maybe I didn't quite word it right.

I wanted them sorted permanently so that anytime I do a bdf it shows it order. I thought there was a vgdisplay command to do this, but perhaps I am mistaken.

You set an alias for the bdf command to get the output you want.
for eg:
#alias bdf="bdf |sort"
>bdf

Thanks everyone for your replies - points to everyone.

The last suggestion was by far the simplest

bdf|sort

Cheers.

Hope you don't mind one more suggestion:

I always edit the /etc/mnttab file to show the order that I want things to appear. Makes life easier for consistency across the board since I always set the vg00 group to be the first one's read. Give it a try on a sandbox if you have one.

Hope this helps.

Another great suggestion.

Many thanks, consider the issue closed.

Thanks to all.
