lvs outputs "[$lvname_vorigin]" for the virtual snapshot lv (created with "--virtualsize"), and the original device pointed by "$lvname_vorigin" is just for lvm internal use, one should never use it. Per lvm's nameing rules, "[" is not valid as part of the vg/lv name. (man 8 lvm). <quote> VALID NAMES The following characters are valid for VG and LV names: a-z A-Z 0-9 + _ . - VG and LV names cannot begin with a hyphen. There are also various reserved names that are used internally by lvm that can not be used as LV or VG names. A VG cannot be called anything that exists in /dev/ at the time of creation, nor can it be called '.' or '..'. A LV cannot be called '.' '..' 'snapshot' or 'pvmove'. The LV name may also not con‐ tain the strings '_mlog' or '_mimage' </quote> So we can skip the set the lv's backingStore by checking if the name begins with a "[".
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.
