For BZ 924672 the problem stems from the fact that thin pool logical
volume devices show up in /sbin/lvs output just like normal logical
volumes do. Since the thin pool devices show up libvirt assumes they are
just normal logical volumes and assumes there will be a corresponding
/dev/vgname/lvname device that has been created. This is not the case and
you will receive the following error when starting the storage pool:
error: cannot stat file '/dev/vgvirt/thinpool': No such file or directory
This patch modifies virStorageBackendLogicalMakeVol() to ignore thin pool
backing devices.
