To get online resizing (with LVM) without having to upgrade everything to 
RHEL4 which can do it on EXT3. This hasn't been a problem yet, exactly, since 
my file server is still running RH9, which was supported by EMC when we had 
our SAN installed. In fact, that's one reason my file server is the only 
machine I have that *isn't* running RHEL yet--lack of reiserfs support. I 
would have to convert several TB of data to some other filesystem.
