I have used LVM on several permanent hard drives, but never on removables. However I think what your looking to do is a udev script. Check out the information on udev. Also look for hotplug. What you'll want your script to do is upon detecting the plugging of your USB drive, it will want to scan (vgscan/lvscan) the drive for LVM volumes, then activate the volume (vgchange/lvchange --available=yes). I'm not sure what you want to do for unplugging. I expect that you'll need a script to flush then deactivate the volumes prior to pulling the plug on the drive. As I said, I don't know much about hotplug and udev, but this may give you some additional search hints. --rick > Tnx > > -- > Antonio > =========================================================================== >===== Mail by Thunderbird 1.0.2 - Websurfing by Firefox 1.0.2 > =========================================================================== >===== Posta con Thunderbird 1.0.2 - Navigazione con Firefox 1.0.2 > =========================================================================== >===== Linux user number 362582 > http://www.montagnani.org > =========================================================================== >=====
