Ashley,
thanks! seems good and not yet checked into SVN... anyway I'd propose to
change it, if you agree, as following:
#
# Remove LVM device mapper files from $staging_dir/dev
#
$cmd = qq(vgs --noheadings --options vg_name 2>/dev/null);
open(VG, "$cmd|");
foreach my $vg_name (<VG>) {
chomp $vg_name;
$vg_name =~ s/^\s+//;
$cmd = "find $staging_dir/dev/ -name \"$vg_name\" -type d -exec
rm -rf {} \\;";
!system( $cmd ) or die( "Couldn't $cmd" );
$cmd = "find $staging_dir/dev/mapper -name \"$vg_name-*\" -type
b -exec rm -f {} \\;";
!system( $cmd ) or die( "Couldn't $cmd" );
}
close(VG);
In particular removing the '*' after $vg_name and being more selective,
to obviate the deletion of other potential useful files... for example
think if I want to create a volume group called 'sd'... ;-).
Best regards,
-Andrea
