Yeah, the \S+ is a greedy match, so it'd consume the ':' first. I don't
know if POSIX expressions have a non-greedy match modifir like Perl does.
That would let you do

   (\\S+?):?

But in any case, your suggested modification is fine, so ACK.

BTW, what version of the LVM tools is SLES using - its probably useful
to note that in the comment you added, in case the same problem is 
particular to a version, rather than just SLES
