Read the man pages if you have a problem with it :P I didn’t write the tools, I just wrote the tutorial. Read the man pages if you have a problem with it :P

What’s the point of supplying $name then?

As for the path, it has to be /dev/storage/storage, as the tool isn't smart enough to combine the $path and $name variables. You have to be explicit with it.

For example, shouldn't it look more like the following? <blockquote>Usage: <b>sudo mkfs.ext4 -L $name -j $path</b> Where <b>$name</b> is the label of your file system, and <b>$path</b> is the path to the Logical volume where the file system will be created. Example: <b>sudo mkfs.ext4 -L storage -j /dev/storage/storage</b> </blockquote> Even if this is the case, howcome you need to specify /dev/storage/storage instead of just /dev/storage? Shouldn't your command know you want it to be located at /dev/storage/storage by combining $path and $name?
