It won't care what type of storage the original VM is using - it'll
simply read the data off the original disk whether its a file or
block device or LVM vol.

If you want to use LVM volumes in the destination VM, then you currently
need to manually create the LVM volume ahead of time - virt-clone itself
will not create new LVM volumes for you. This is in the future feature
list though, once libvirt storage management APIs are merged.
