It should. I just did not notice it. If I try the block storage now I
get:

    {
      "iops_rd": 0,
      "detect_zeroes": "off",
      "image": {
        "virtual-size": 10737418240,
        "filename": "/dev/mapper/angien--storage-ble",
        "format": "host_device",
        "actual-size": 0,
        "dirty-flag": false
      },
      "iops_wr": 0,
      "ro": false,
      "node-name": "#block093",
      "backing_file_depth": 0,
      "drv": "host_device",
      "iops": 0,
      "bps_wr": 0,
      "write_threshold": 0,
      "encrypted": true,
      "bps": 0,
      "bps_rd": 0,
      "cache": {
        "no-flush": false,
        "direct": true,
        "writeback": true
      },
      "file": "/dev/mapper/angien--storage-ble",
      "encryption_key_missing": false
    }

Is there a special need to use 'host_cdrom' explicitly if the CDROM
drive is used? That would complicate things since we don't know when
that will happen.
