Much thanks for pointing that out. I've applied your patch, and will release a new version with it as soon as I've tested it. I actually don't believe the modification is necessary for the first line (transferring to a dedicated partition), since the host mountpoint is changed to /media/drv0, but I've applied it nevertheless; an empty, unused folder isn't a big deal if it could potentially fix some corner-case issue.

The patched version seems to be working fine, so I've released it on the usual spot as sourceforge, as revision 96.

As usual, the latest version should be directly accessible via the redirector at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm-latest.deb

Marking as Fix Released.
