  My understanding is that currently LVM + Xen is broken, and
 has been for a long time.  Taking snapshots of paused/running
 Xen guests *will* cause your dom0 problems.

  The xen-users archive is full of reports, and until that is
 fixed I'm not sure there is too much point going down this
 road.

  (Though I agree it would be nice to have; I use LVM personally
 so cloning / installing / copying via snapshots would be nice
 to have.)

  TODO in the cvsrepository is the closest thing to it.  There is
 wiki support on trac installed on xen-tools.cvsrepository.org,
 but I didn't expect there to be much use and disabled it rather than
 deal with spammers.  I'll enable it later today..
