Bug?: Minor numbers in true evms volumes are *not* persitant!

Hello,

in between I found a solution to the not persitent minor numbers of evms 
volumes. The problem was that when these EVMS volumes are exported by NFS 
changing minor numbers can result in an NFS client getting an NFS mount 
without error but having the wrong contents (that of another share on the 
server). 

Someone gave me a hint that this problem can be solved by NFS exporting the 
EVMS volumes using the "fsid" export option (man 5 exports). The options 
value replaces the id that is else generated from the major/minor numbers of 
a device exported by NFS. So minor device numbers are no longer important for 
NFS.

Thanks
Rainer
