RE: [Xen-users] Xen3.1 and win2k8 hvm: lvm-backed disk sized 0 bytes

        Once upon a time, without Windows or HVM being in the picture, I had
to use the true path instead of the LVM path (I don't have any LVM machines
to reference, but it was more like /dev/lvm/volgroups/volgroup00/logvol01
instead of /dev/volgroup00/logvol01.  Don't get caught up on the
/lvm/volgroups/ reference, it is an example, I honestly don't remember what
the real path was at all.  However, you might try this if you haven't, there
could be some problem with links (sym and/or hard), I have certainly read
about problems with symlinks. I have also read about problems with LVM
partitions for Windows HVMs, but I thought that was only with GPLPV drivers.

I already went over it with fdisk. Even tried creating a full  
partition table on the volume with an NTFS partition. Windows keeps  
reporting it as a 0.0 MB drive.
