I'll add my vote for LVM - esp on a media server where space
requirements keep growing!
As for file systems, reiserfs works fine for mythtv and its large files.
Delete performance is not an issue, but stability is - as myth is
inclined to be a bit flaky at times (at least on the old, underpowered
hardware I was using)! The AMD64 its running on now is rock solid.
Personally, I would avoid ext2/3 like the plague for serious work. At
least I have never lost files or whole systems with reiserfs where
hardware failure wasnt a factor, whereas ...
YMMV
