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.
