  right.  this also goes for vgscan and vgchange.  now, site-specific
  software around where I work gets tossed to /site.  which of course
  is either a partition or a volume.  either way, doing:

[root at host /sbin]# ln -s /site/sbin/vgchange && ln -s /site/sbin/vgscan

  isn't as bright as one first thinks.  

  of course, when testing for volumegroups only / has been mounted, in
  case any other mountpoints are logical volumes.  *sigh*
