Wouldn't it be better to code most of that extra functionality
inside the LVM instead? That way other filesystems might take
advantage of it too.
There will probably never be such a thing as a one-size-fits-all
filesystem, so it would be nice to have some of the functionality
in the LVM in order not to have to duplicate it...
