Odd. I am running the same versions as you and I have never had an
lvm failure since setting it up. IIRC that would be over 2 years.
I have all my lvm volumes using reiserfs.
This may be of interest to you,

I set this up a long time ago using the inforation provided by the LVM
Howto's available on the net as well the LVM Howto included in the
doc-linux-text package.
Hope this helps, some.
