# The shell will save the volume group descriptions for the
# non-rootvg volume groups using the savevg command. This
# output can be used by the restore vg command to recreate
# the volume groups. For example:
# restvg -qf /vg_images/savevg.$VGNAME
rm -f /vg_images/savevg.*
rm -f /tmp/savevg
integer total_error=0
# 1) get the non-rootvg volume groups (vg)
# 2) get the logical volumes (lv) by vg's, remove the header
# line, remove the unmounted & raw lv's, remove the nfs
# mounted files and print the mount point.
# 3) save the mount point in /etc/exclude.$VGNAME
# 4) save the volume group information for each volume group,
# while excluding the actual files, in /vg_images/savevg.$VGNAME
