Cannot mount: device in use

Hello, just had a power outage in my area and when my system came back up, all my lvm'd reiserfs volumes reported that they were already mounted, even though they were not. I have seen this several times after system crashes and each time, the only way to resolve the problem is to login in single-user mode, umount the device (which reports <device>: not mounted) and then reboot... after that, the devices go through the journal replay as expected. As I do not have any lvm'd ext2fs, I will shortly create a small one, crash the system, and see if the problem happens with the lvm'd ext2fs or not, but until that time, here're my specifics:

linux 2.2.19
reiserfs 3.5.32
lvm 0.9.1beta7

Also, someone previously asked if my mnttab file or /proc/mounts might have been the issue, so in rcS i had it copy them elsewhere before it removed the mnttab and started trying to mount filesystems... /proc/mounts only showed /dev/root on / and procfs on /proc... mnttab didn't have the external volumes in them either.

Thanks.
