According to Bernd Walter:

Another datapoint ot consider, it seems that Linux (at least the derivative
version maintained by Alan Cox -- the other one :) ) has now grown an LVM
system (probably à la HP or AIX). That's what I've been told yesterday during
a small conference about Linux and free software in France (and where I did a
talk about FreeBSD *grin*).

I think one of the difficulty of growing a FS is that you have to choose
whether you need the FS to be contiguous or not. The latter case makes it much
more difficult...
