fstab & LVM logical volumes

[ubuntu prole]

Thanks to all who responded.

Using sudo vol_id /dev/mapper/lvmvolume-archive did display the proper UUID
for the logical volume,

cmnx at maul:/archive$ sudo vol_id /dev/mapper/lvmvolume-archive
[sudo] password for cmnx:
ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
ID_FS_TYPE=ext3
ID_FS_VERSION=1.0
ID_FS_UUID=6b98eb3f-4d98-479e-b13e-72d012f34a10
ID_FS_UUID_ENC=6b98eb3f-4d98-479e-b13e-72d012f34a10
ID_FS_LABEL=archive
ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=archive
ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=archive
cmnx at maul:/archive$


And creating a mount point for the logical drive (/archive) allowed me to
put an entry in fstab to automatically mount the drive.

sudo mkdir /archive
sudo mount /dev/mapper/lvmvolume-archive /archive

And the entry in fstab
...
/dev/mapper/lvmvolume-archive /archive ex3 defaults 0 2

With the UUID information I could now change the fstab entry to be:
...
UUID=6b98eb3f-4d98-479e-b13e-72d012f34a10 /archive ex3 defaults 0 2

I don't believe I understand all I know about this.
