Can Windows read LVM2?

I thinking about doing a reinstall, this time making use of LVM2. I am going to create a FAT32 partition to share with Windows XP. If I make this a logical partition, will Windows be able to read it, or does it have to be a physical partition?

But this is also about ext2 on LVM, not FAT32 on LVM, should it matter.

Sorcerer'sApprentice, if I were you I'd just make a small physical partition for sharing. Stock win does not support LVM or any Linux fs and I'd rather not have experminetal fs code touch my HDD :wink:

Thank you for your reply. Looks as though it's going to be a boring old physical partition.

PS: I had searched the web extensively (including Google) for an answer to this question, but could not find a one anywhere.
