RE: [Xen-users] Xen 4.0 feature request

Why can't you save only one VM with LVM snapshots? Sounds like you
have an odd implementation, rather that there being a problem with
LVM. We export two LVs per domU - 1 'data' and 1 'swap'. I can
easily snapshot the 'data' LV of any single domU without a
performance problem.
How do you deal with the fact that you are snapshotting a dirty state
? Unless you are using LVM inside the DomU (in which case Xen is
irrelevant), then when you make a snapshot, it will NOT include any
dirty blocks in the guests cache.
Unless you collaborate with the guest, get it to stop updating the
filesystem, and flush it's cache - then you are pretty well
guaranteed dirty (and probably corrupt) data.
