One of the main benefits of LVM is, that you can easily extend (and theoretically shrink) filesystems. Since ext* can, in practicallity, only be resized offline, one of the benefits goes away. Also, extending and shrinking ext* takes *AGES*, as you MUST run "e2fsck -f $dev" beforehand. > I could not resize /usr or /var off-line, That's wrong. I suppose that those are your ext* fs?

No. Get rid of ext*. reiser3 and xfs are mature, use those instead.
