It is probably easire to work with the information directly. If you are using LVM1 (and I think that output above is LVM2) you could use Linux::LVM. If you are indeed using LVM2, you could update the module so everyone could use it.

[Proposal] Linux::LVM module...maintain, update or fork?
by sandboxed (Sexton) on Apr 14, 2008 at 16:02 UTC

    Hi everybody, I'm just a perl newbie that entered through these monastery gates not so many weeks ago...I was wondering if I could add some extra functionality and fixes to the module Linux::LVM instead of forking it, as many people do with many modules around.

    I believe I'm able to work on the module itself with the creator's permission, or to do it in some other way.

    What shall I do? Any comments, help and guidelines would be very appreciated, fellow brothers. On the meantime, I'll try to contact the module creator.

    Thank you!

    (let my faith in Perl Best Practices, Perl::Critic and nice coding guidelines enlighten my path...)
