I tried this in my lvm-wrapper and it works fine, but on my system /bin/sh
is /bin/bash.  This also works with /bin/zsh, but doesn't work with /bin/ash.

One issue is how to get this fix out.  Since the lvm-wrapper is not part
of the LVM tools itself, it is up to vendors to read this email and fix
it...

Cheers, Andreas
