The thing with Xen is, if you use GFS on the dom0 then you'll be 
using loopback filesystems for the domUs, so data corruption could 
still happen.  xfs has protection against being mounted twice, you 
may want to consider using xfs if you're concerned about a domU being 
run from two different dom0's causing data corruption on the fs.  I'm 
not aware of any other fs that provides this feature.
