Make sure that when you do something like this after the host has been
loaded with RHEL or some other distro that uses SELinux, you need to
relabel the volume after you've got it mounted so the SELinux
attributes are correct.  Otherwise httpd won't serve files out of the
new /var/www.

(And please don't tell me you turn off SELinux.)
