LVM -- or rather, SUSE's implementation of LVM -- just chewed up 4 250GB reiserfs disks, causing me no end of grief with getting my system back online. In a related incident, the reiser "fixit" tools thought a vmware file containing a linux image was actually a "lost" filesystem, and helpfully "restored" it back on to the disk, wiping out loads of data in the process.... Needless to say, I am no longer using LVM (a short-lived experience for me) and am using XFS and ext3 for my filesystems. did have a brief look at evms and thought "cool.....not again".

LVM is great - if you have faith in your tapes.....
