analyze-my-lvm fails if LANG is not english

[Eduardo]

Hello take care of LANG in create mindi copy..

[root@redhatprueba1 mindi]# set | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

[root@redhatprueba1 mindi]# ./analyze-my-lvm
/usr/sbin/lvmdiskscan
/sbin/lvm
i=2
LVM version >= 2.0 found.
Just before you extrapolate mountlist to include RAID partitions,
extrapolate it to include the following LVM drives and partitions:-
>>>>> /dev/sda2
To get started, type:-
(insmod dm-mod)
(insmod dm_mod)
# lvm vgchange -an
# echo y | lvm pvcreate -ff /dev/sda2
# lvm vgscan

Create and activate the VG's (volume groups).
# '''lvm vgcreate VolGroup00 -l 0 -p 0 -s 32.00m /dev/sda2'''
# lvm vgchange -a y VolGroup00

Finally, create the LV's (logical volumes).
# lvm lvcreate -L 6082m -r auto -n LogVol00 VolGroup00
# lvm lvcreate -L 352.00m -r auto -n LogVol01 VolGroup00

# lvm vgscan
Now you may format the LV's:-
(mkfs -t foo /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 or something like that)
(mkfs -t foo /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 or something like that)

Finally, to shut down and delete the volumes, do this:-
(lvm lvremove -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00)
(lvm lvremove -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01)
(lvm vgchange -a n VolGroup00)
(lvm vgremove VolGroup00)
(rmmod dm-mod & rmmod dm_mod & )

(rmmod dm-mod & rmmod dm_mod & )

after of this the diference in , and . is very importan because mondoresque don't run.

i-want-my-lvm fails to create because this command is error.

lvm vgcreate VolGroup00 -l 0 -p 0 -s 32,00m /dev/sda2

can't use , you must use .

It seems that on your distribution, the vgdisplay commands does output the ',' when using your locale. Is that correct ?

It's then strange that it doesn't use also it for vgcreate :-(

What about vgdisplay and pvdisplay commands ?

Depending on these feedback I'll work on the appropriate patch.

Workaround: add export LANGUAGE=C and export LANG=C at the start of this script.

Yes I use this workaround, I send you the output of.

Environment Variables

determines the language in which messages are displayed.

If is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)).

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)).

Only must be take care of this... :)

Can be interested put in the analyze-my-lvm script the LANG=C by default??? Regards!

Fixed in rev [3063] by adopting your fix.
