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. -- Randy Barlow
