Ok. Hmm.. that should be safe.

The pygrub problem is most probably different issue, since with pygrub
you have two different programs accessing the same storage: domU with
for example phy: driver, and then the dom0 userspace pygrub using normal
non-direct calls, which causes the problem.

Redhat fixed pygrub by making pygrub use O_DIRECT to bypass dom0 kernel
caches.

What's your dom0 OS/kernel/Xen? RHEL5.4?
