My experience with LVM and ext3 limits to one machine, on which I have
used this combination for about a month without any problems. No
problems so far, even resizing logical volumes has worked like a
charm.
Before that I used reiserfs on LVM for a few months, also without any
real problems.
_But_, since I haven't been using this combination any longer, I
really cannot make any statements on it's reliability.
Oh, and I have used -ac -kernels all the time.

Which reminds me... I'd gladly hear comments on LVM snapshots, if
anyone has experience with them. Do they work reliably enough to be
used for serious backups?
Suonpää...
