Ahhh... maybe I misunderstood.   So LVM is okay but LVM2 is the problem 
child?   Given your environment I suspect that you've one of the 
harder-working servers represented on this list so if anything is going to 
break you should know about it.   My plan of attack then will likely be (a) 
ACL-patch and use a 2.4 series kernel; (b) wait for 2.6 to get a few more 
notches in its belt; (c) implement 2.6 and explore LVM benefits.   Dim-dark 
future: explore LVM2, unless I win Lotto in the meantime :-)
