If we find a LV xyz in the VG devil-linux that is not listet
in /etc/sysconfig/lvmtab we try to create /var/xyz/ and mount
it there. Is that what you mean?

That case can be handled by the script. We can even check the
directory where the mount should occour and then check if the
filesystem there is ro or rw. Good point. Better to prepare now
before the users come asking for help where they shouldn't have
gone in the first place ;-)
