 I'm using "mount" version 2.11m-1 (debian "sid"), Linux 2.4.14 from
 Debian "kernel-source", version 2.4.14-1, patched with Debian
 supplied "kernel-patch-xfs", version 1.0.2-2, and LVM release 1.0.1
 patched in by myself from source obtained directly from the LVM
 site...

 I've set up a VG with one PV in it, and in there have created one LV,
 and have created an XFS filesystem on that.  It shows up in
 "/proc/partitions".

 I cannot get "mount -U <uuid> /mnt/tmp" to work, nor can I get the
 UUID=<uuid> style fstab entry to work, for XFS.  I created a second
 LV and made an ext2fs on it, and tried to do a "mount -U" style
 mount, and _it_ DID work.

 The XFS there mounts just fine when I specify the device name in the
 mount command.
