The XFS patch used to include LVM kernel patches but they were dropped
in XFS 2.4.14.  SGI decided that there was no point in XFS having a
different version of LVM from Linus, it just caused maintainance
problems and gave more ammunition to those who said "XFS hits a lot of
the main kernel".

AFAIK XFS 1.0.2 has Linus's standard LVM code, you need the same LVM
utilities as kernel 2.4.14.  I believe that the LVM 1.0.1-rc4 utilities
support both the old and new LVM formats, but don't quote me, I don't
use LVM myself.
