Guess so.

Hm. I have udisks 1.0.1 installed.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/DeviceKit/DeviceKit-disks/
lists 1.0.1 as the most recent, so what should Arch Linux do in this
case?

Same for udev - http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/?C=M;O=D
lists udev-161 as the latest and I do have udev-161 installed.

But LVM2 is indeed out of date - I've got 2.02.70. Would've .71 or .73 have
fixed this?

BTW: I'm on kernel 2.6.35.3-1. Well, I guess that should be 2.6.35.3,
but should the
uname -a output show 2.6.35.3?
