You're right ;-)

But it won't kill him, to know how to mount LVM Partitions from DomU in Dom0.

   So, how can I run fsck on that file system?

   I have tried to mount /home/vm/vm01.img - but it fails:

   # mount -o loop /home/vm/vm01.img /mnt/vm01/
   mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Am I missing something? It seems like people like making things more complicated than they are. What's stopping you from doing an fsck from the console within the DomU just like if it were a real machine? It dropped you to a shell so just run fsck on it manually.

It's definitely better to learn something new but I also live by the idea that the simplest solution is the best.

It's quite strange that the DomU dies after throwing the error. Where does that fault lie? It seems like Xen should keep it running as if it were a real machine.
