Xen here, with GFS1.  Works great.  Pay attention to the performance
optimizations (noatime, etc.) including statfs_fast if you are on GFS1.

We export LUNs from our SAN to each domU using tap:sync driver.
Performance seems to be limited by our SAN.  Each domU in our setup has
two vif's:  one for openais, another for everything else, though I can't
say if that helps or hurts performance.
