Hi David,
Thanks for writing that up.
Just as an aside:

needs to be able to access your /boot folder! At least delayed
allocation is free :)
If anyone wants an extra block device to use for a small /boot so
they can use something more exotic than ext3 on / then just drop a
mail to support. I will be happy to shrink your root filesystem a
little and then give the space back to you as a different block
device.
If you pick something that I can't mount in dom0 though (what
happens if I try to mount ext4 as ext3?) then it may make later
support requests -- like growing/shrinking filesystems -- more
difficult.
Cheers,
Andy
