ugh, and double ugh. this violates the KISS 'keep it super simple' principle, and I can only see the extra layers of complexity leading to more frustration.
I would instead run LVM only on dom0, and have your domU's creating file systems directly on the virtual devices mapped to said LVs. if you need to grow a file system, you resize the LV from dom0, and then growfs in the domU
I agree and the newer domUs I have created do not use LVM. This was one of the first domUs I created with virt-manager and when installing the OS I just clicked my way through the CentOS installation like I usually do, and that meant using LVM. And I don't think you are even given an option to define the default vg name during the installation?
