Secondly there is an API of sorts for lvm2. I think Alasdair called it "libcmd", but maybe I got that wrong because Google doesn't seem to turn up anything. In any case, all it is is a wrapper around the command line tools, so it seems doubtful that this is going to be any better than just invoking the command line tools ourselves.
If there is some longer-term commitment to the C API then it might be simpler to start using it now, even if it currently just uses the commands. Pushing the parsing of command output into one place sounds like a good idea, especially if it will eventually go away (the parsing of command output, that is). dme.
