The formats <code>dos</code> ("msdos" in parted terminology,
good for BIOS systems) or <code>gpt</code> (good for UEFI
systems) are recommended for best portability - the latter is
needed for disks larger than 2TB.
needed for disks larger than 2TB. Note that the <code>lvm2</code>
format refers to the physical volume format (i.e. the whole
disk is a physical volume - not the usual usage of LVM where
physical volumes are partitions). This is not really
a partition table and such pool cannot be built by libvirt,
only detected.

in <code>parted</code>.
