If the 'lv' output contains multiple paths tin the "device" field,
then the issue of ',' vs '#' is the least of our worries.

We use the path in the device field to populate the volume extents
information.

   if ((vol->source.extents[vol->source.nextent].path =
         strdup(groups[3])) == NULL) {
        virReportOOMError();
        return -1;
    }
   ...

    vol->source.extents[vol->source.nextent].start = offset * size;
    vol->source.extents[vol->source.nextent].end = (offset * size) + length;
    vol->source.nextent++;

This code will need significantly rewriting to cope with multiple
device paths when parsing the output, before we can make the change
you suggest here.

Regards,
Daniel
