I was afraid you were going to ask that ...  :-)

Here's the new default /etc/sysconfig/lvmtab:
(first column is the lv name under vg devil-linux)

swap    swap            swap    defaults        0 0
home    /home           auto    defaults        0 0
opt     /opt            auto    defaults        0 0
log     /var/log        auto    defaults        0 0
spool   /var/spool      auto    defaults        0 0
squid   /var/squid      auto    defaults        0 0
tmp     /var/tmp        auto    defaults        0 0
data    /var/data       auto    defaults        0 0
imap    /var/imap       auto    defaults        0 0
mail    /var/mail       auto    defaults        0 0

Left as-is, the mountfs script will function exactly the same as it does
now, using the lvmtab file for it's mount parameters (instead of being
hard coded).  LV's that don't exist will be silently skipped (as opposed
to error messages if they were in fstab).  

As far as sorting by depth, it's not going to happen.  The file will be
read sequentially and people will have to add nested mounts in the
correct order in lvmtab.

This simply gives people the ability the add/change LV's, plus adding
the ability so specify mount options (like "quota").
