Package: lvm2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

please consider adding pvinfo, a small perl tool to display the physical
allocation layout of lvm physical volumes to the Debian package lvm2.
Maybe upstream is interested too.

pvinfo is written by Uli Martens and released under the the GNU General
Public Version 2, its Homepage is http://youam.net/devel/pvinfo/

The manpage has not been added to the homepage, since it has just been
written by Uli and me, but it is attached to this mail, as is pvinfo
itself.

Example:

$ /home/carsten/bin/pvinfo | head -n 10
         first/last PE    #PE       device                         first/last LE
vg: vg_foghorn
  pv: /dev/hda3
    (      0 ..    124 (  125 )) -- /dev/vg_foghorn/usr       (      0 ..    124 )
    (    125 ..    249 (  125 )) -- /dev/vg_foghorn/var       (      0 ..    124 )
    (    250 ..    499 (  250 )) -- /dev/vg_foghorn/vserver   (      0 ..    249 )
    (    500 ..    624 (  125 )) -- /dev/vg_foghorn/srv       (      0 ..    124 )
    (    625 ..    874 (  250 )) -- /dev/vg_foghorn/home      (      0 ..    249 )
    (    875 ..    999 (  125 )) -- /dev/vg_foghorn/usr       (    125 ..    249 )
    (   1000 ..   1024 (   25 )) -- /dev/vg_foghorn/srv       (    125 ..    149 )


Thanks,
Carsten
