lvm with -- on the name
Hi All,
I created an lvm filesystem with a name with dash in the middle, like xxx-yyy (note, that it's only one dash).
I was able to create it smoothly with this instructions.
lvcreate -L 1G uservg -n xxx-yyy
ls /dev/uservg/xxx-yyy (check)
mkfs.ext3 /dev/uservg/xxx-yyy
mount /dev/uservg/xxx-yyy /xxx-yyy
But when I do df-k, it will showed like this
/dev/mapper/uservg-xxx--yyy (note, that it have -- dash on it, double dash)
Is that okay? I got error when I'm not the root with doing the df -k of
df: `/xxx-yyy': Permission denied
Although the chmod is 775, it's still making an error like that on the permission.
But it's also okay, if the user owner or group owner will do the df -k, no permission error.
Is the - name allowed on the middle of the filesystem naming on lvm?
Any comment you may add will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Having first encountered LVM in HP-UX and now experimenting with it in Redhat and Gentoo, I am wondering, when is it actually good practice to use LVM? Obviously LVM doesn't work for boot partitions, so that question is a pretty easy answer: Not for /boot in Linux.

debugreiserfs
DEBUGREISERFS(8) System Manager's Manual DEBUGREISERFS(8)
NAME
debugreiserfs
SYNOPSIS
debugreiserfs [ -dDJmoqpS ] [ -j device ] [ -B blocknumber ]
device
DESCRIPTION
It helps sometimes to solve problems with reiserfs filesystems. Being called w/o options it prints super block of reiserfs filesystem found
on the device.
device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX for IDE disk partition or /dev/sdXX for SCSI disk partition).
OPTIONS
-j device
print contents of journal. Also with the option -p it allows to pack journal into archive with other metadata
-J print journal header.
-d print formatted nodes of the internal tree of the filesystem
-D print formatted nodes of all used blocks of the filesystem
-m print contents of bitmap (not very useful)
-o print objectid map (not very useful)
-1 blocknumber
print specified block of the filesystem
-p Makes debugreiserfs to find filesystem metadata This option exists to help reiserfsck debugging. If reiserfsck fails - you may
extract filesystem metadata with debugreiserfs -p /dev/xxx |gzip -c > xxx.gz. We download that data and make the filesystem similar
to your with gunzip -c xxx.gz | unpack /dev/xxx (unpack is included into reiserfsprogs package). This usually allows to reproduce
and debug the problem quickly. When data file is not too large.
-S When -S is not specified -p deals with blocks marked used in the filesystem bitmap. With this option set they will work with whole
device.
-q Suppress showing speed of progress when -p is in use
