What shell are you using?
Does it work if you change info() to
info()
{
is_true ${VERBOSE:-false} && write I "$@" || :
}

I do not see the problem with dash or zsh, so I guess you must be
using bash then. I wonder whether it isn't bash's fault, but I do
agree that the info function should not return false when
VERBOSE=false.
Fixed merged into 2.5.6-5.

What is the root array? What if you have LVM on two arrays providing
the root filesystem? Trust me, it's not that easy, and I cannot make
any drastic changes anymore due to the freeze.
