This is true.  Further, since LVM is pretty much fancy RAID-0, it has the
same failure profile (reduced MTTF, as only a single drive needs to die to
lose the whole volume).

Of course, just like no sane person uses straight RAID-0, and instead uses
something like RAID   0+1, I set up my system as an LVM on top of software
RAID-1 mirrors.

With the new incremental deletes would there be any reason to not use ext3?

Not that I'm aware of.
