I'm not sure RedHat 7.2 includes the proper version of those tools at all. I've had problems were built by RedHat. The label stuff in mount and e2fsprogs reads /etc/partitions and searches all entries in that file for labels. It doesn't search anything else. LVM didn't (probably still doesn't) show up in etc partitions so label support fails. It should search in the /proc files that have the LVM stuff to find them, and search for those. That's what I added to the code, but I haven't seen it work since I sent in the patch. It's not hard to modify the code, I didn't bother figuring out why the redhat tools fails. It wasn't terribly important to me. If you want to look at it I will. If nothing else I can send you a patch that you can use to rebuild your source RPM with.
