Probably but why not put the standard LVs there too so the
user has a place to lock at than to dig into the source of
the script to find out where things get mounted.

/proc/lvm/VGs/devil-linux/LVs/ is probably the cleaner way. Before
a certain release of LVM it was not possible to get the info via
that path, that's why I did stick with the "old" way when I did the
current script.

What I meant was if we have to creat a directory we might want to
check first if the filesystem is read-only and display an error
in this case. Can the mkdir fail because of something else? If
not, then just checking if mkdir fails would do it too I think.
