Transactional updates will go into LVM after mid November.  Checksums
for the metadata will also go in at this point.  ATM problems are
spotted by consistency checks (the is a lot of duplication between the
pv's).  If a problem is spotted the administrator can restore from the
automatic metadata backups.
