Disclaimer: I can't claim this matches your circumstance exactly, but it is
something you might check.
I have seen problems with LVM partitions in KVM guests being unwritable, despite
being mounted read-write, on CentOS5.6 (host and guest). Specifically, I was
booting a guest from the CentOS live CD in order to fix /etc/fstab on the root
partition, which was LVM, but I could not save my changes.
Executing 'vgscan' resolved my problem; I'm not clear exactly why, but I could
then remount and write successfully. You might also try 'vgchange -ay' if that
doesn't work.
Perhaps:
- boot with liveCD .iso in a virtual CD drive
- check whether VolGroup-lv_root is mounted and writeable
(use mount, lvdisplay, touch etc.)
- if not, unmount it, run vgscan
- remount it, and check for writability again
