Indeed.  I didn't realize the partition was still mounted (I had left
the system and come back to it some time later).  Of course it should
fail, but not that bad. :)

With respect to the problem I had with /etc/mtab: the root partition is
not handled by LVM at all.  It is strictly a md device.  I assume
/etc/mtab got hosed when umount segfaulted (because of the ReiserFS
bug).  But the root partition (and /etc on the root partition) is
md/raid1 with ext2.  This seems to me to be a real md bug.  What do you
think?

Thanks,
Jason.
