I think you may be off here. It was RedHat9 that gave me the option of using LVM.
i said _devfs_ is not supported, _lvm_ is.
I've gone to the 2.4.23 kernel with devfs and lvm support. I know there is alot or a good amount of controvery around devfs but I think I'll ride it out and see how it works for me.
lvm1 tools do have a problem with switching from devfs to non-devfs, and vice-versa since they use /proc/partitions to find pvs, and do write the pv name in the metadata. (read the list archives for the gory details)
