Description of problem:
Upon creating a LVM physical volume, volume group, and two logical volumes 
and successfully mounting and using the partitions, RedHat 7.1 failed to 
mount the lvm partitions on reboot. It was possible to mount the lvm 
partitions manually.

After some digging, I found the problem: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit was checking 
for /proc/lvm *before* running vgscan. vgscan is responsible for 
creating /proc/lvm, so the check was always evaluating to false. I fixed 
rc.sysinit by changing the following lines near 273 (I fiddled with the 
file for a bit, so I do not have an accurate line number) as shown below:

------ Original text ------
if [ -e /proc/lvm -a -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then
    action $"Setting up LVM:" /sbin/vgscan && /sbin/vgchange -a y
fi

------ Corrected text ------
if [ -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then
    action $"Setting up LVM:" /sbin/vgscan && /sbin/vgchange -a y
fi



How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a clean RH7.1 installation
2. Patch kernel w/ latest lvm source (0.9.1_beta8 was what I used)
3. Recompile kernel, install lvm tools, etc.
4. Create a new LVM physical volume, volume group, logical volume.
5. Add an entry for the new lv to /etc/fstab, and configure the entry to 
automount at boot.
6. Reboot. Notice that the new lv is not mounted, and an error was 
reported during boot while trying to mount the lvm partition.

Actual Results:  new lv was not mounted. It was possible to manually mount.

Expected Results:  The new lv should have been mounted by the automated 
boot sequence.
