2.6.18 dom0 and a 3.1.0 domU produces this on domU boot:

EXT3-fs (xvda): using internal journal
Adding 262140k swap on /dev/xvdb.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:262140k SS
blkfront: barrier: empty write xvda op failed
blkfront: xvda: barrier or flush: disabled
end_request: I/O error, dev xvda, sector 1053048
end_request: I/O error, dev xvda, sector 1053048
Buffer I/O error on device xvda, logical block 131631
lost page write due to I/O error on xvda
Aborting journal on device xvda.
EXT3-fs (xvda): error: ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
EXT3-fs (xvda): error: remounting filesystem read-only

On my 3.0 based dom0 with a 3.1.0 domU blkfront doesn't complain - and I 
*think* 3.1 domU may actually work as expected -- initial tests couldn't get it 
to trace...

blkback.

We suspected a dom0/domU incompatibility after doing some research.  Hopefully 
this can get resolved within the guest since we have literally thousands of 
2.6.18 dom0s deployed and rebooting everyone is not my idea of a good time :)

Thanks,
