From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: As reported in bug #142863, the default naming scheme of /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-XXX filesystem names are too long for normal df output. The logwatch file /etc/log.d/scripts/services/zz-disk_space should use the -P flag to get useful output. Currently LogWatch (on by default in RHEL4b2) shows nearly useless output like this: ------------------ Disk Space -------------------- /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-RootVol00 /dev/sda1 99M 32M 63M 34% /boot /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-HomeVol02 /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LocalVol04 /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-VarVol03 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): logwatch-5.2.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL3b2 with default filesystem names 2. Run LogWatch 3. Look at output Additional info:
An alternative way of fixing this would be to make the default anaconda naming scheme something like 'vg0x' and 'lv0x' instead of 'VolGroup0x' and 'LogVol0x'. This would also be a mnemonic to connect the volume with the tools used with them (vgdisplay, etc.)
