Coordinate with the maintainer that takes care of mountall.sh, make damn
sure lvm stuff can be inserted into that file in a very sane way, that will
not cause trouble with different versions of lvm, or lvm not being
active/installed in the system.

I sort of wish we had proper hooks in mountall.sh to handle that sort of
thing...
