I did not experience any troubles with suspend/resume which I could
bring in contact with LVM.
(When I just began to configure my laptop I ran in the "usual" trouble
 with local APIC and so on...)

I do *not* have swap space on LVM for design reasons.

I have it running for two years now and enjoyed it when I wanted to
merge two volumes to maximize "real" usage space for user data.
I just hade to make a copy of the data, delete one LV, extended the
other and copied back. done.
