Attaching storage to a virtual machine
...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.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html-single/Virtualization/index.html#proc-Virtualization-Adding_storage_devices_to_guests-Adding_physical_block_devices_to_virtualized_guests
First I check that the module acpiphp is present on the guest. 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 t...
