Just wondering what everyone's thoughts on this and what are you using it for right now?
I have it on a test server with reiserfs and ext3, and a very busy production server with ext3. One of the reiserfs partitions (a /var) loses/corrupts data occasionally, but I've not found any problems with ext3 (so that's the one used in production). It has been invaluable, being able to adapt disk sizes and hold some in reserve for unforseen needs. snapshots are also good for a temporary+quick "safer copy" (not really a backup) of a disk.
If you have time, I think it's well worth testing for yourself.
