lvmtab, lvmtab_p
LVM has a well known configuration file /etc/lvmtab. With the introduction of Version 2.x volume
groups, LVM uses a new configuration file, /etc/lvmtab_p. The differences between the two
versions are as follows:
/etc/lvmtab is a private binary file. It contains information only related to Version 1.0 volume
groups. It is compatible with all supported HP-UX releases.
/etc/lvmtab_p is a new private binary file. It contains information only related to Version 2.x
volume groups. It has a different internal structure from lvmtab and contains additional
information.
For example:
# strings /etc/lvmtab_p
/dev/vgtestl2
