Hmm, I don't see why LVM has anything to do with it. If reiserfs can grow
(which it can) then you just grow the fs after the LV grows.

Well, it is true that you can't online resize ext3 yet (not enough hours
in the day for me to finish that), but you can offline resize it. That
may not be good enough for you application. I'm willing to be convinced
to work on it.
