Hi, I realized that the -s/--short option for vgdisplay doesn't work in lvm 2.2.00.31 (but also older versions). That's because the option --separator also gets the short option 's' in args.h. Attached is a patch. ciao Arvin -- Dipl.-Phys. Arvin Schnell SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development email: arvin@suse.de
