Curious, RAID1 is soft/md, fakeraid or hardware? Also, are you using pygrub and then what is the kernel for the guests, or are you using a kernel from the host/which one?
(I'm using almost-latest, ie last week, kernel on host and guest (pygrub) on hardware raid, haven't had any issues to date.) Eric Sent from my iPhone. Pardon the top-posting!
