I set up a RedHat Cluster on two Debian dom0s running xen-devel (changeset
from last week) and I made the same experience. I also got a lot of I/O
errors within a domU once starting it with vbd as image file stored on gfs.
Thanks to Sylvain Coutant, now we know what is the problem with that scenario
(because I also thought I did something the wrong way).
Btw, just for completion, my syslog said the following when I started a domU
on gfs:
Nov 15 17:37:27 testpc-022 logger: /etc/xen/scripts/block: Writing
backend/vbd/13/770/hotplug-status connected to xenstore.

Something's seems to go wrong with the locking mechanism of gfs ( I used
lock_dlm for distributed locking).
Since I'm evaluating different ways of storing domUs' vbds for migration, I'll
go on and test some more stuff with FC and iSCSI.
Cheers,
Michael
