LVM Auto-Grow

[xeniphon at gmail.com]

LVM.conf has a number of autoextend options documented - at least on my
Fedora box.  Weirdly I don't see any references to this in the lvm man
page, but only in the lvm.conf file itself.

Did you tie your script to inotify or udev rules or auditd events or
anything like that?
