How does this patch deal with mdev (busybox) or static dev instead of udev? Does it gracefully degrade to legacy LVM-agnostic behavior? Meanwhile, just requiring libudev is certain to bring some pretty zealous opposition from the anti-systemd/anti-udev camp. I like the goal, but that better be an optional dep unless we're deliberately stepping into that debate, because that's exactly what we'd be doing. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
