Actually he's right; all other filesystems can't be mounted before the lvm
volumes are available, but the / filesystem needs to be RW to be able to
create the lvmtab stuff.
I don't know if remounting / rw, initialising lvm, and remounting it ro is
evil (i think so) - the other solution would be to copy mountall.sh's
behavior in the lvm script; that sounds evil as well.
Any ideas, anyone ?

(remember, lvm is not a filesystem, but creates a virtual device to make a
filesystem on)
