Hello

sorry, but I do not understand that 100%
I have one domU with one LVM partition created. There is no other domU or LVM partition on this system.

Best regards

The problem is that your tools are creating a /local/domain/vfb/0 node in xenstore. The PV drivers try to gracefully close down the backend for this using the same fe closing -> be closing -> fe closed -> be closed state dance that it uses for vifs and this is not working.
Since these is actually no fe driver for vfb, I suggest you just make sure this node does not exist.
