[linux-lvm] Nasty bug in lvm and/or md and/or reiserfs

I guess you mean software RAID using md?

I guess this is the concern: md clearly works when all is going well,
but when somethings goes awry (like, for example, in my case where a
kernel bug in reiserfs caused umount to segfault while it had a lock on
/etc/mtab), is it robust enough?

Are there others on this list who can share their md/lvm experiences use
with me?

Thanks,
Jason.
