[buug] lvm issue

[Michael Cheselka]

Hello,

I have a similar issue,  I want to plug and unplug a usb drive which
only has one partition - an LVM named VolGroup01.  I want to treat
it like a USB memory stick and be able to hot plug and unplug it.

The command I run right now is:

lvchange -a y VolGroup01

... and then:

mount -a

Later, I must:

umount $( awk '$1 ~ /^\/dev\/VolGroup01/ { print $2 }' /proc/mounts )
lvchange -a n VolGroup01

... before unplugging it.

There must be a udev way to do this.

Ciao!
Mike
