In my humble opinion something that is already available inside libvirt should be reused. Therefore: source If the disk type is "file", then the file attribute specifies the fully-qualified path to the file holding the disk. If the disk type is "block", then the dev attribute specifies the path to the host device to serve as the disk. If the disk type is "pool", then the pool attribute and the volume attibute specify what volume should be used for this disk. I'm currently playing with xml.c to get it supported. One thing that would be interesting is a 'start' parameter, so when the pool is defined but not yet started it should start. Any comments to the idea?
