Probably we could have a nicer abstraction for all the lvm command sequences to make maintenance easier in the future, but it's fine for now.

Just one small change then lgtm. Thanks for doing the e2e tests.

the e2e test is failing due to an unknown compile failure. It works locally.

The k8s integration snapshot failures are happening on master as well. Since this feature doesn't support snapshot yet we can ignore.

Since this is an experimental branch, force-pushing.
