...d my LVM volume group to virsh I could see no way of then assigning one volume of that to be offered as a logical volume to one particular virtual machine. I've also seen this: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/sect-Virtualization-Virtualized_block_devices-Adding_storage_devices_to_guests.html#proc-Virtualization-Adding_storage_devices_to_guests-Adding_physical_block_devices_to_virtualized_guests Looks like I could use that to assign one of the LVM volumes in my LVM volume group to the VM. If anyone could explain the different function of these two techniques and which sounds app...

It is. On the host I write: virsh attach-disk test1 /dev/sdb1 sda --driver tap --mode shareable - test1 is my guest domain - /dev/sdb1 is the name of the unformatted partition on...
