Yes, I saw that. No blame intended. I was just a bit surprised at how 
fragile the new code turned out to be.

You probably know that I've basically been on VAC for the last 5 weeks and 
therefore was not able to respond to your request. I want to make this a 
priority now though.

Great.

I used the daily images which means all udebs are from unstable!

That we may need to check what exit codes the LVM tools give, especially 
if we use them in tests that are not hit very often and in "sanity 
checks" (which normally only give one result and thus the error case is 
never really tested).

Thanks for your work on LVM and RAID. From what I've seen the 
functionality is now much more professional, but I expect it will need a 
lot more testing to get it as stable as the previous version was.
