We explicitly switched from VolGroup00/LogVol00 because it caused problems if you tried to mount virtual machine disks on the host (of course you should use libguestfs instead, but some people still try to do this). The bug was: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=207470 Why don't we just use randomized vgXXXXXX/lvXXXXXX names here, independent of the hostname?
