[Discuss] Is ext4 still dangerous for vmware client?

I'm thinking of taking the plunge and setting up a Linux client on Windows 7.  A while ago I read that ext4 for certain, and possibly ext3 had problems with corruption when used within vmware clients.

If that was true, is it still the case?

Also, should I be looking at using LVM so that I can more easily migrate to larger "disks"?
