Can't dd a sparse image! Steps to fix (I think) 1. kpartx -va 2. kpartx -va 3. partimage...(clone the image partition in /dev/loopNp1 to the lv partition in devloopN2p1) Oh, I think the real issue I have is the default disk image type is sparse!

KVM won't install XP properly to LVM; that or won't boot properly: it fails to find the boot drive when installed.) I was pre-fixmbr and it started to boot fine, but hung just before the welcome screen. Rebooted to fixmbr and did fixboot also, broken. So because I now have a faster DD method (thanks Ray Morris for the pipe dd trick) I'm cloning again! (Xen USB passthrough is still broken here in 2012 btw.)

Can you check the size of the txt records? The maximum size for all txt records I believe cannot exceed 512 bytes. I'm thinking that with large TXT records, qmail-smtpd might segfault (die with status 11) on some platforms... just like the an issue with the old SPF patch (http://www.saout.de/misc/spf/) for qmail.
