For the kernel, the bulk of associated infrastructure (ata, scsi, block,
dm, md, etc) went in 2.6.31, 2.6.32 saw some improvements, and 2.6.33
and 2.6.34 saw a few bug fixes.
v2.6.32.11 saw a backport of the 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 bug fixes via commit
9b2ff97
RHEL6 has all this. I cannot speak for debian and/or Ubuntu.
As for LVM2, you'd want >= 2.02.62.
Mike
