Well, to make sure, I just unmounted the lv, and ran dumpe2fs on the
partition:
Last mount time:          Sun Sep 11 15:13:01 2005
Last write time:          Sun Sep 11 13:44:36 2005
Mount count:              6
Maximum mount count:      30
remaxp:~# date
So Sep 11 13:45:33 CEST 2005

(no, I did not change the clock inbetween). So for some reason, the
last mount time is two hours *in the future*.[1] Two hours reminds me of
the difference between our daylight saving time (CEST) and UTC.

So there is a bug, maybe the kernel sets the time wrong on mount (just
guessing). [I verified this on other lvs: always two hours off]

My hardware clock runs on UTC.

A little puzzled greetings.

[1] I verified the two hours, by rapidly mounting, unmounting and
    running dumpe2fs. So within a minute it is two hours.
