svn merge -r 2523:2545 /mondorescue/branches/2.2.9

• Adds the --rescue flag to ntfsclone (Andree Leidenfrost andree_at_debian.org)
• Fix 2 typos in the HOWTO (reported by Bram Mertens bram-mertens_at_linux.be)
• Patch from Rogério Brito rbrito_at_ime.usp.br which fixes errors in man pages format
• Fix syntax issue in analyze-my-lvm
• Better doc for pre and post
• Finally the function ListLvmDrivesAndPartitions is used, as it creates info parsed by mindi !! So reverting back to filter excluded devices in it
• Better exclusion of the LVs from the mountlist at restore time if excludedevs used
• Exclude LVs whose VGs are excluded now in analyze-my-lvm
• First attempt to support device exclusion at restore time through a new boot param excludedevs
• Fix a bug preventing execution of the pre script in init
• LVM exclusion based on devices was flawed as the function targeted was not really useful. That script shold be fully rewritten to have a data structure contaiing what is needed. Anyway the current patch should allow to have some improvements
• Do not report Duplicate mount point when lvm is used
• each device of the EXCLUDE_DEVS list is now used correctly and partitions found on this device are excluded
• Fix the way the dsf is declared in the linked list to have it work
• Fix #383 by using pvdisplay instead of relying on 8e as partition type
• Try to fix #384 by always excluding the dfs per users wish
• Also use the exclude dev feature in case of multipath and exclude resulting /dev/mapper/mpath type of files
• Fix #381 by postfixing spaces at the end of the strings to be cheked in strstr
