On a particular server A, with RHEL5.2 & Xen 3.03, creating a

formatting the root partition if the disk files are not initialized in

finally pass that format step after 2-3 hours or so, the disk sizes are
just about 10G. If the parameter --nonsparse is used, everything is just
fine.
The same virt-install script works well when moved to another server B
with same OS but different hardware, no matter whether --nonsparse is
used or not.
I think the problem may relates to the disk system, but besides that
problem, everything else seems ok.
Replacing the controller does fix the problem. Because I replaced it
with not the same model so I am not sure if the controller itself has
the problem or the driver of that model has the problem.
The original controller: LSI SAS3081E-S
The replaced one: Promise SuperTrak EX8650.
