Volume recognition is definitely a user space area. There are a huge array of things you want to do in some environments that you cannot do from kernel space
Simple example: We have mount by label, imagine trying to extend that in kernel space to automatically do LDAP queries to find a remote handle to the volume and NFS mount it. It's easy in user space.
