[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Display thin lv's from a logical vg

While I know not the preferred mechanism for Jan, these patches
provide a means to display thin lv data from a volume group including
the source thin-pool name and thin-pool capacity. Since a thin-pool
and a thin lv are just members of the vg, it just feels natural to
display whatever is in the volume group because a logical pool
comprises all the volumes within the vg.

Even if not accepted, some concepts can be used as a bases for a
single thin-pool to libvirt pool relationship.

There are no changes to virsh vol-list --details or virsh vol-info
to display the thin-pool capacity. If one self adds all the capacity
values in the vol-list --details display, they will determine that the
sum is larger than the virsh pool-info output for the volume group.
Although that's even true prior to these patches since the thin data
is not displayed in the vol-list output, but is accounted for in the
pool-info output, thus the sum of the vol-list capacity details are less.


John Ferlan (4):
  vol: Add new elements to _virStorageVolSource for thin lv
  logical: Add capability to get the thin pool name
  logical: Add thin-pool look-aside list
  logical: Display thin lv's found in a libvirt managed volume group
