Actually Charles, I've just noticed this in your earlier mail, and this
suggests something a little more serious going on than I first thought
(actually you might have two problems, so if you could still address the
potential race, that would be good).

Yes; I'll get you feedback on the other item within the next few hours.

Does this happen immediately after a reboot?

Let's see... I have it happening on the first DomU startups after one boot... and don't see it anywhere else in my logs, particularly including my more recent test boots.

On the occasion when it *did* happen (that's still covered in the available logs), logs were as follows:

Are you using NFS anywhere, say as your dom 0 root fs?

No NFS. My root is LVM over local drives only (and likewise, my DomUs' block devices all are phy: pointing at logical volumes).
