I've hit similar issues with XFS, and used the not-so-lovely workaround
of setting 'barrier=0' as mount options for that filesystem, which works
great. Not sure if it'd work with ext4 or not.
@Malcolm, do you have a Ticket ID that I can reference in a support
ticket to Citrix?
Side note - XenServ
Torsten, this is a XenServer bug and not an Ubuntu bug. No current
release of XenServer is capable of running guests with recent Linux
kernels. A fix is (still) pending from Citrix. If you want an
unofficial fix (a replacement kernel for XenServer dom0, very
unsupported) contact me privately. I
Still there with current precise LTS.

I should clarify that the timeframe for the XenServer release (6.1) I

alteration by Citrix.

The release incorporating this fix is due for release around late July /
early August. The only workaround I know for now is to install a
patched kernel in the XenServer dom0. I have one and you may contact me
by email if you would like a copy, but bear in mind that it is very much
not supported
Any chance your contact gave a better timeframe than the next point
release, since that was released already twice (6.0.2) and I'm still
seeing the problem here at a most infuriating rate..
Is there some way of making sure that a new VM install won't have any
problems with this? Once the system is
This turned out to be a XenServer bug related to the interaction between
blkback and barriers; my contact at Citrix has produced a dom0 kernel
patch which fixes the issue. I'm told the fix will be incorporated in
the next point release of XenServer.

I looked back into the mailing list archives and there has been a thread
titled: "blkfront problem in pvops kernel when barriers enabled". As far
as I understand, this is a problem of the backend driver (which is part
of the host code), offering the barrier method for syncing but then
failing with
This bug is also still present in the 3.3.0-030300rc1 mainline build.

I just want to add that I'm encountering this issue with a Debian
Squeeze (Xen: 4.0.1) dom0. I'm using LVM volumes to store my disk images

netinstall. The install works fine, the error only happens when booting

The messages about the barrier fail as such are just informational. The

Malcolm - I believe XenServer 6 is the first version to be certified
with Lucid (10.04) as a DomU. Are you at liberty to test that version
pairing? Then if 11.10 doesn't work as a DomU then we need to have a
look. 11.10 should also work as a Dom0 on XS 6.
