I'm not *sure* about this, but I believe that /proc/lvm was only used for LVM 1.0, while device-mapper doesn't have such a thing. RHEL3 is based on a 2.6 kernel, right? How about the userspace tools instead? Try pvdisplay, vgdisplay or lvdisplay, depending on what info you want. Or is there some other info that you're hunting for? Fredrik Tolf
