dm-2 and dm-3 are the problem ones, 99% IO utilisation. Why do you use LVM inside a virtual machine? That offers no real benefit and makes things more difficult to debug things as it will be a pain if the VM doesn't boot properly and you need to fix that LV from the Dom0.
Sorry for the late reply - told you checking email was slow. LVM was put in as a measure because of the default CenTOS install + running out of disk space. Previously to that I used NFS mounts for /home /var/spool/mail but this played up with shared mailboxes and IMAP/Dovecot on large (4GB+ mail files). Probably best to start again with this machine as a VM. Thanks P
