On F16 at least, empty volume groups don't have a directory under /dev. The directory only appears once a logical volume is created. This tickles some behavior in BackendStablePath which ends with libvirt sleeping for 5 seconds while waiting for the directory to appear. This causes all sorts of problems for the virStorageVolLookupByPath API which virtinst uses, even if trying to resolve a path that is independent of the logical pool. In reality we don't even need to do that checking since logical pools always have a stable target path. Short circuit the polling in that case. Fixes bug 782261
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
