This is surprising to me, because at my former employer we used LVM for
all of our virtual machines in Xen. It performed quite well, and we
never experienced any data loss due to that setup. LVM gives a lot of
flexibility in managing virtual machines, so I'd highly recommend it.

I believe LVM devices can be passed to KVM guests as well, though I have
never personally tried that.
