I have been using LVM since version 0.6 and I have had no problems with it.
My Cyrus mail store runs on LVM.

I'm not using this method yet... but I will be soon... is anyone else
out there running LVM or some other volume manager under linux in
production?

I have had many many troubles with the linux LVM itself. I would rather
suggest using a well configured linux softare raid. This is much more
stable than LVM! I lost 250GB because of LVM and did not have a backup.
With software raid on linux this would not have happened....
