hi!,

try install iotop in the domU, or "sar 2 0" and paste that result, and i think that the any software raid is very bad idea. try check the disk's IOPS too.
already running iotop and sar - not helping a lot - looking more and more like a low-level software or hardware issue

I'd be interested in more about why "software raid" is a bad idea. I've had pretty good luck with md-based RAID1.

Thanks,

Miles
