I recommend the XFS ML for this question, there are people there using
XFS/LVM on _big_ servers. XFS, which is my preferred FS on Linux, works
very nice with LVM and EVMS. I'm not using it in production but I know
people do. There were some issues with snapshotting in the past but
AFAIK they are fixed.
