I have always recommended that people _not_ use LVM for their root file system. Use it for /tmp, /var, /usr, /home, /opt, but never /. Your experience is another example of why.

Everything worked fine. Just wondering about LVM2 in general though. It has seemed reliable and stable and is build on top of ext3. Are there any pitfalls to LVM in general? Any other positive or negative remarks about it. Performance?
