That (IMHO) is not the problem with LVM.  To see what I consider to be the 
problem with LVM then read the source code (or if you're not a C programmer 
then get someone who is to review it for you).  The code is nasty.

There's a few times I wanted to fix bugs in LVM but ended up not doing so 
because it's too painful.

I hope there are more hackers working on LVM than just Sistina. Another GFS
snatcheroo would suck. [ Go to www.opengfs.org for the Free GFS. :) ]
