I can do that.  So the only entries in the default lvmtab file are:
/home  /opt  &  swap ???

How is  /proc/lvm/VGs/devil-linux/LVs/  different than
/dev/devil-linux/ ?   Or which is the best one to use?

You can mount disks on existing directories on the CD, you just can't
create new directories.  (i.e.  I can mount something under /mnt)

So, if the directory doesn't already exist, try to create it.  If it
can't be created then display an error.
