Yes it seems the latest test8 version of ll_rw_block has broken
lvm. We are looking into it hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Recommend going to the beta tree if you want to use lvm support.
"linux-2.4-xfs-beta" in the oss cvs repository.

That option isn't supported yet.
I may be used in the future to change an existing mount to a not kio FS
via a remount.
For the moment specifying a mount without the kio flag is the same
semantics of
having the nokio flag in the mount flags.
