It is a little more severe than that. My fstab looks as follows:

proc        /proc       proc    defaults        0 0
/dev/md0    /           ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro       0 1
/dev/evms/home          /home           ext3    noatime         0 2
/dev/evms/opt           /opt            ext3    noatime         0 2
/dev/evms/optnwn        /opt/nwn        ext3    noatime         0 2
/dev/evms/tmp           /tmp            ext3    noatime         0 2
/dev/evms/usr           /usr            ext3    noatime         0 2
/dev/evms/usrsrc        /usr/src        ext3    noatime         0 2
/dev/evms/var           /var            ext3    noatime         0 2
/dev/evms/swap          none            swap    auto            0 0

If I swapoff and run "dpkg --configure -a" I still get errors as the
swap device is in fstab. If I comment out the swap device it fails on
other filesystems. It would appear that the scripts in the kernel
packages do not work all that well with evms.

Long story with the evms part, but with multipathing you sort of got to
that way... I am game for testing kernel packages and if I get time I
will hack away at fixing this myself.
