Q6/ Does mondorescue handle LVM2 ? ¶

     Answer reported by Klaus Ade Johnstad <klaus_at_skolelinux.no>. Short answer is Yes. Now if you 
encounter a problem with it, it might be due to the fact that older versions of mondorescue didn't 
support correctly the usage of /dev/mapper/vg*. So you needed to adapt your /etc/fstab in order to 
make mondorescue happy, as here:


     Original /etc/fstab:


       /dev/mapper/vg_system-lv_var /usr ext3 defaults 0 2
       /dev/mapper/vg_system-lv_usr /var ext3 defaults 0 2


     Modified /etc/fstab:


       /dev/vg_system/lv_usr /usr ext3 defaults 0 2
       /dev/vg_system/lv_var /var ext3 defaults 0 2
