You're right! As this does not happen with normal partitions but only
LVM volumes, there must be some problem in the combination of XenServer,
LVM and XFS.
There is nothing I can do to report this to Citrix, at least I didn't
find a bug report facility for that, so it won't be fixed but now we
know it.
This was XenServer 5.5
