When Red Hat says they are good, they will be included in their RHEL kernels. Until then, avoid. ;->
I'm confused?
Snapshots are enabled on my CentOS 4 boxes, and I've used them before in testing. Those are using LVM2 and (mostly) RHEL kernels. Unless I'm missing something...?
snapshots are available, but not supported - and the developers themselves say snapshots on lvm2 are broken.
