I have an Ultra-1 available, presently in use as a prototyping system.
It's not currently using LVM and there's no unpartitioned space on the
drive, but if one of the core developers (or otherwise someone I have
reason to trust) wants to try testing LVM over loopback (or something
of that sort), I can provide access.

I don't have the time to do testing myself, unless someone can provide
a specific set of instructions (ie. the nature of an expected bug is
known; the only question is its presence).

Btw, I can only promise availability for about a week or so; the
machine may become a production system after that time.
