Should be, but I'm not going to find out on a production server ;-).
BTW, our 9.1 box gives some problems on it's LVM (lvm devices don't
start up sometimes), so I would be more hesitant to have root (and all
the necessary tools to get the LVM up) on LVM ...

Well, IMHO, if you need to resize /, you made some mistake in setting up
the server ...
