 From memory that is correct. My solution was to name my lvs:
LogVolSlash, LogVolHome etc, because the previous lv name is displayed, 
and can then be assigned by the user in the UI.

Since anaconda {partitioning} can use the old partition labels to 
display to the user, it would make sense to click a button to say do it 
{assigning existing labeled partitions to the same named mount points}, 
rather than requiring user to click through a heap of things. If that 
made sense, the same should be possible with the lv names {::if:: they 
were decently named}.
