Is there any word on clustered LVM and snapshotting? Is it ever going to happen 
or are there fundamental reasons why it won't work?

When I was first tinkering with it, probably 5 years ago, I somehow managed to 
make a snapshot on a clustered LVM setup and boy did it blow up in my face!!! A 
word of advice - don't do that :)
