Hi, I added additional storage to my domU using xm block-attach and tap:aio. Then increased my root device (using vgextend, lvextend and resizefs) which is / or /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00.

Hi, I'm trying a fresh install on a x86_64 (Supermicro X7dbe, 2xIntel Xeon X5450, 8 GB, 3WARE 9650SE-8LPML, 3 disks in RAID 5).
