good question. i run lvm2 and i have found on my system, if i want to be able
to administer the guest directly from the host, i must mount it on boot or
create a special script to start the guest which mounts the lvm2 mountpoint,
then calls vserver to start the guest. if i do not do this, then i cannot
administer the guest from the host and must enter the guest to do anything at
all.

will be interesting to see what the gurus say :)
