I use JFS for everything, running Etch with its 2.6 kernel and I haven't
had any problems.

Could the difference between what lvdisplay shows and df be a
combination of:

	df shows the free space available within a filesystem

	lvdisplay shows the free space available on an LV

	Could the diff be the amount of space taken up by the filesystem
	infrastructure itself (metadata, inode tables, etc)?

	What about the difference between -h (K=1024) and --si (K=1000)?
