<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been playing with the LVM tool for a while
under ROOT privilledge.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today, I tried to run "lvscan" & "pvscan" from
one of my user script</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to show LVM status to user. I realized I could not
run them having the attached errors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Q1: Is that true I can not run "vgscan",
"lvscan",... under user applciation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>which does not have "root" right?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Q2: I want to run these utilities from my CGI
script for Web GUI. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Any
suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
