Hi Dirk.

Are you sure lvm is the right place to look for the cause ? As far as I
can grasp from the above, you are just exporting lvm volumes from dom0
to domU which will see a normal SCSI block device /dev/sda1 (at least
you are using the exact same syntax as I am in Xen 2.0.6 stable). You
don't need an LVM driver in domU for that.

There is another thread titled "xenU vbd error -22" - perhaps that will
bring you further than trying to find an lvm cause ?

Hope this helps
