If we really don't have a better, persistent, local name for a

be from VG/LV UUIDs when we need it?
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:

Why don't we just use randomized vgXXXXXX/lvXXXXXX names here,
independent of the hostname?
