Spontaneous access to the CDROM on two computers simultaneously
It happened again, but this time on just one of the two computers:
[20770.844282] hda: tray open [20770.844288] end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 0 [20770.844292] Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0
Since you think LVM may be misbehaving, I changed the filter on the affected computer to read
filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|", "r|/dev/hda|", "r|/dev/ide|" ]
Ironically, that's on the computer that threw the error, so it could be more evidence LVM has a problem if it is indeed the cause or further evidence that it isn't involved.
The kernel on this amd64-based computer is now 2.6.16.20. LVM is version 2.02.05 (versions from Gentoo packages). Device mapper is 1.02.07 and udev is 090.) Since I'm shooting in the dark, cc'd to the gentoo ml since this system is gentoo-based (2005.0 profile).

Spontaneously and for no apparent reason, two computers displayed
the following message in their logs several times at the same time:[55419.446442] Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0 [55419.447381] hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReadySeekComplete Error }

drbd could at least theoretically triggered this somehow.
no.
much more likely some program scanning ("discovering") devices.
just a wild guess:
man lvm.conf
/filter
