Hrm. Okay, I could have sworn that 2.7 was being bundled with
DiskSuite, but I don't have a media package around me that I can
verify that with. I _can_ verify that the current Binary License for
Solaris 8 does appear to include SDS bundled with it.

Well, like I said, it's not necessarily best-of-breed, it's just
there, which is a big win over the various free unixes if you're
working on a constrained hardware budget.
In 1-2 years, when reiserfs/xfs/jfs/ext3 or whatever is integrated
into the mainline linux distributions, this will become much less of
an issue. (Doesn't really address that LVM portion, but that's
probably a lot less critical for most people.)

"Two crucial things in New York: Do the work and enjoy the town. New York
furnishes vast pleasure to them what can hear the music and do the dance. They
may be from Wisconsin or Denmark or Japan, but they walk down the street and
it appeals to them, the hurly-burly and the eccentrics and the street musicians,
the aroma of pizza and chestnuts and hot dogs, the jangle of a dozen different
languages, the distant siren, the rumble of the subway, the pockets of grace
and elegance and the flash and hustle and the river of perspiring humanity. A
person who knows how to make himself happy can do well in New York. Enjoying
the carnival is more important to your happiness than "making it." But do do
the work." (--Garrison Keillor)
