Today, 20080207, installed Fedora 9 Alpha on LV (except home is ext3 part). 
Specified ext4 during partitioning.  Seems to be ok, but: system-config-lvm 
says the LV is ext3.  I don't know how to disply the file system type for an 
LV except with system-config-lvm.  Does anyone reading this know of a safe 
way to check?
