A quick glance seems to show no driver problems. Did you experience
any problem? Is your problem xen-specific?

I have very slow access in Xen for file based access. If I use LVM volumes it is quite fast. Using the same machine with OpenVZ has no problems and performance is great. Will go ahead and use LVM volumes and assume Xen likes them! :) Not sure what
else to do or look at, any comments?

Regards,
Randy
