Hi James,
I agree it's likely to be an lvm/udev race; some observations:
1) It doesn't seem to happen with files
2) With lvm, It doesn't always happen if the guest is configured with a
single core; most of the time but not always
3) With lvm it seems to happen (almost?) always when the guest has
multiple cores.
output of tgtadm as requested:
