[linux-lvm] Copying a raw disk image to LVM2

[Марк Коренберг]

If you write from disk image to virtual LVM device, you will never
overwrite LVM metadata. The most convenient way to copy VM image is using
qemu-img, since it may not copy unallocated places of VM image, leaving it
uninitialized in LVM, which is significantly faster.
