I suggest this is the best solution, then delete EVMS from the
system. Ubuntu have dropped support for EVMS (the packages are still
in universe though) so its probably a good idea to stop using it as
soon as possible. I'm currently stuck with an EVMS "extention" to DM,
BBR that I can't get rid of until I buy a new hard disk to migrate the
data off the disk; BBR is no longer part of the standard Ubuntu
kernel.

Sincerely,
