Hi,
I would like to be able to configure VMs running off dm-crypt devices
that were unlocked in the host. Unlocked dm-crypt devices show up in
/dev/mapper/devicename, with devicename being the second parameter
given to cryptsetup luksOpen.
The LVM storage pool type insists on searching in /dev/vgname and
cannot be tricked into reading /dev/mapper by giving it a fake VG
named mapper; the LVM storage pool type "dir" mishandles
/dev/mapper/control ("illegal seek").
Is there a workaround to be able to use such devices in virt-manager
without having to define a single storage pool for every device used?
Greetings
Marc
