The only thing that could be irrational about it is if you were to say "It does not work for me now so how can it work for anyone, ever?"
I have not seen any of you guys taking that attitude but some do.
Recommending against using LVM and citing reasons based on your experience with it is certainly valid and basically why I asked the question in the first place. I have not come across any serious blockers and was curious what made it blockers for some of you.
For that matter, haven't you ever gotten gunshy when something that's billed as the LATESTGREATESTTHINGSINCESLICEDBREAD is buggy, and not ready for prime time? Certainly 10-12 years ago, that's how I felt about python, where literally every sub-release broke what was running. Is it irrational to be unappreciative of it?
