Check out "www.sistina.com/lvm", the one shipped with 2.4.2 is I
think beta2 and very buggy, beta6 is out now.  The authors claim
not to have given the beta2 patch to Linus, and are waiting for
more stability before they do send in a patch.  They ask that
nobody send in a patch for them as that's how the current 2.4.x
kernels got buggy code in them.
