In the late 90's and early 2000s I ran both OS/2 and its successor, eCS. While both Linux and OS/2 have LVM systems there are as I remember large incompatibilities between the two systems, requiring especial care when installing a boot manager.
I ignore Linux LVM like the plague, exactly for that reason. I use OS/2 LVM and DFSee for partitioning.
I never tried to triple boot Linux, Os/2 and Windoze, but I remember posts cautioning those doing so to do the partitioning first with OS/2's fdisk or DFSEE, and then get the OS/2 Boot Manager to hand off to GRUB or LILO.
That is exactly what I have done right from the beginning (see above). But I have not used FDISK since the day when LVM appeared.
