Comment 15 for bug 76177

In the bug above, the reporter has /dev/sda2 as an EVMS volume which is mounted as /dev/evms/boot. However, hal detects it as normal ext3 'filesystem' volume, so that people will see it in the Computer place and mount it. This is dangerous, though, since that will lead to data corruption.

Full lshal is at http://librarian.launchpad.net/7344710/hal.txt.

Now, hal already detects dm and lvm devices. I'm not familiar at all how evms works, so I don't have an off-hand suggestion how to detect such volumes. Any idea about additional information that I can ask from the original reporter?

Thank you!
