Works fine for me. If you have devfs set up to keep the
stats on links then it'll just make its own copy of the
/dev/vgXX files. Alternative is to move the volume groups
out of /dev. Problem there is that the --preifx switch
doesn't work entirely -- there are a were code changes you
have to make in order to move vg's out of /dev/ the last
time I tried it.
Only real thing to make a point of is mounting /dev before
the LVM volumes (not hard since one is normally done before
mouting the root volume the other after).
