Wait, just to be clear, are you saying that all use of LVM is a bad idea unless on hardware RAID? That's bad it if it's true since it seems to me that most modern distros like to use LVM by default. Am I missing something?
if LVM is ignoring write barriers, its not a good idea on hardware raid, either, at least not for applications that rely on committed writes, like transactional databases.
