[Bug 613549] [NEW] does not support cloning vm storage on lvm backend

[Jamin W. Collins]

Public bug reported:

It would appear that libvirt does not support cloning a VM that is using
an LVM backend.

Selecting "Clone" presents the user with a dialog prompting for a new
name and options for networking and the storage details.  However, below
the LVM based storage entry is a statement: "Could not determine
original disk information: Disk '/dev/group/volume' does not exist."
Where /dev/group/volume is the full path to the LVM volume being used by
the VM.  The referenced device does indeed exist, as it is successfully
being used by the VM being cloned.

Searching on this seems to indicate that there were patches provided back in July of '09: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg14557.html  

It would appear that most of the patches were accepted: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/libvir-list@redhat.com/msg14709.html

Looks like the version in Lucid (0.7.5) was released several months
after those patches were committed (based on the above referenced
messages and the upstream release archive).
