Howdy!

We've got a Xen setup using a 2.6.16.29 kernel with Xen 3.0.3 on the
Dapper Drake. We recently rebooted the dom0 and when it came back
online, the /etc/motd on one of the domU's was replaced with a snippet
of a file that was contained on one of the other domU's -- and the only
explanation we can conjure is that on reboot the data somehow bled
between the LVM volumes containing the two domU. Are there any known
instances of this? Corrupting /etc/motd is rather harmless, but I'd be
much more concerned about the same type of accident corrupting something
far more vital.

I'm happy to provide any information that would help in tracking down
this error. Just let me know what I can do. Thanks!
