I agree and the newer domUs I have created do not use LVM. This was
one of the first domUs I created with virt-manager and when installing
the OS I just clicked my way through the CentOS installation like I
usually do, and that meant using LVM. And I don't think you are even
given an option to define the default vg name during the installation?
