My experience (LVM2.2.00.24 - Mandrake 10.0 - 2.6.8.1-xen0) has been that when lvm2 runs out of memory (particularly when creating a new snapshot of an original that already has other snaphots against it) the whole lvm system with any xenU domains based on it becomes unusable until the xen0 system is rebooted. Has lvm2 behaved better for you in that kind of circumstance?

Other than that, from a short acquaintance it looks as if it should be good.

Another little query about the LVM stuff: I'm using kernel 2.6 so does this rule out the LVM option? The package note for Sarge's LVM2 says that it works with 2.4 only.

I'm using LVM2 from Sarge (a few weeks out of date now) and a 2.6.8.1
kernel on Xen.  Everything works just fine.  (Except for the occasional
out-of-memory conditions when using many snapshots...)
