If you are getting packages from distros that place the binaries in /sbin/lvm-*/ you need to talk to the distros. AFAICT, the LVM tools *should* be in /sbin This from the current FHS 2.1 standard: Utilities used for system administration (and other root-only commands) are stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin. /sbin typically contains binaries essential for booting the system in addition to the binaries in /bin. Anything executed after /usr is known to be mounted (when there are no problems) should be placed into /usr/sbin. Local-only system administration binaries should be placed into /usr/local/sbin And this is what the FHS has to say about /lib: The /lib directory contains those shared library images needed to boot the system and run the commands in the root filesystem. So how does having LVM binaries in /lib/lvm-*/ _not_ violate the FHS? Regards, -- AJ Lewis Sistina Software Inc.
