Just prepare the partitions you want to use with OS/2's LVM and do
not do any fdisk-ing with Redhat. Linux can access LVM-partitions
without problems (at least my SuSE 7.1 with a 2.4.X kernel can).
Just be sure that you use blocksize of 4096 when formatting JFS in
OS/2 as Linux-JFS can only access that blocksize.

If you are doing volume spanning that may be a completely different
matter, which I have not tested.
