<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If you’re using awk anyway:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"> lsblk -b -r | awk 'NR>1 && $7 {print $1,$4}'
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">appears to do the trick.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Unfortunately, it doesn’t do the VG/LV to dm-X translation for you, and using -l instead of -r doesn’t really work either b/c of the rather silly column formatting lsblk does – there’s a SPACE in
the middle of the first column, gee, thanks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The lsblk(8) manpage notes that it pulls all of its information from sysfs, so I imagine you could fairly easily do exactly the same, targeting only the info you really want.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Finally, note that in your example, 98G is correct as the “disk” size – to get that result from df, you *<b>must</b>* have an LV that’s 98G, and the LV is the “disk” as far as the filesystem is concerned.
There are many reasons this can happen, but I guarantee you can’t actually put 100G of user data on that filesystem. I do this deliberately, but alignment issues or metadata can sometimes chew up a bit of space, too. Cross-check against the output of lvscan(8)
and if that reports 100G, let us know – and also file a bug with the vendor!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If you use df, I would suggest an invocation such as
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"> df -lm | awk '/^\/dev/ && $2>1 {print $6,$1,$2}'<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">depending on which bits of info you want.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
