depends on what version. we're using 3.5.3 on gentoo with lvm.
and I use lvm on ALL my computers. why? say I start with 5
filesystems, the total of which do not require my entire disk. then
say one fills up? if you don't use lvm, you end up with some
filesystems which are larger than you need, or have to add
filesystems later, and then move stuff around. with lvm, if one
fills up, I simply boot from my rescue cd, increase the size of that
filesystem and reboot (actually, you just need to unmount it, but
with say /usr and such that's tough). lvm rocks.

Is a lvm based
system supported as a golden client? I.E. can clients be built from
a system where
the main file system is lvm based?
I had someone tell me the reason systemimager and other pieces of
Sisuite could not
be used in a partiular cluster solution was because there was no
support for lvm.
I looked for a features page to confirm or deny this statement but
I was not able to
find one.
Don't ask me why someone would actually use lvm filesystems on
client compute nodes.
I am always of the opinion that simpler is better for compute nodes
but it is not my call
on this one.
