RedHat just paid me and my employer a visit and on my list of
questions was the support of LVM in 3.0.  They confirmed that it would
indeed be in 3.0.  

Unfortunately, they also told me that reiserfs still doesn't pass
their "stress testing" in-house, so it's not officially supported yet.
I'd prefer not to use ext3, since you can't grow it on the fly like
you can with reiserfs.  So, I could use reiserfs, but what's the point
of buying "enterprise" RedHat if you don't use 100% supported
software. <sigh>
