I$_`
/dev/dsk/c20t1d5
/dev/vg08
/dev/dsk/c21t0d0
Can someone tell me what's the line "I$_`" and how to remove it, is there any impact with OS?
From vg01 to vg10 are all SAN disks. /dev/dsk/c20t1d5 was configured as /dev/vg10 and I created four LVs in vg10.
I have tried so many times
# rm -rf /etc/lvmtab
# vgscan -av
but
# strings /etc/lvmtab
still has this error line.
Any answers will be very appreciate.

SolutionThis is NOT an error. The 'strings' attempts to construct printable ASCII characters from four or more characters.
The 'lvmtab' is a binary file that not only contains device and volume group names, but also the VGID (in binary) of each volume group.
There is nothing wrong with what you see or have!
Regards!

Re: strings /etc/lvmtab there is a erro code entry in the list
Hmm, the part that seems broken is that you have to use strings(1) rather than some more appropriate command that understands /etc/lvmtab.
I assume that's vgdisplay(1m), pvdisplay(1m) and lvdisplay(1m)?

Re: strings /etc/lvmtab there is a erro code entry in the list
Thanks for your reply.
You mentioned some "broken" there, could you provide me more details, normaly i just use # strings to check /etc/lvmtab.
There is no erro when run below commands
vgdisplay /dev/vg10
pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c20t1d5
lvdisplay /dev/vg10/lvol3

Dennis >> point about
"broken" there, could you provide me more details, normaly i just use # strings to check /etc/lvmtab
you can use # strings /etc/lvmtab
better to use below commands for checking your "disk" "PV"
# vgdisplay
# pvdisplay
# lvdisplay
Thanks,
Johnson

Re: strings /etc/lvmtab there is a erro code entry in the list
Broken in that you have to use a hammer instead of a nice command like "printlvmtab".
Broken in that you had to ask what "I$_`" was.

Re: strings /etc/lvmtab there is a erro code entry in the list
vgdisplay -v | grep Name
Or:
vgdisplay -v | grep -e "VG Name" -e "PV Name"

I had to make up that name. It is really "vgdisplay -v" as I showed above.
