CentOS-6.0
I created an lv (120 Gb) to hold the image of a KVM guest instance. I mounted this at /var/lib/libvirt/images/lv_guest01. When I do a df I see the lv is mounted at the desired location.
When I run the virtual machine manager from the desktop I am given the option to install the image into the root directory tree or to browse for an alternative location. When I browse to the mount point of the lv then the virtual machine manger becomes non-responsive and I get a swirling circular pattern in the right hand pane of the file browser.
In CentOS-5.6 I was able to create and mount new lvs and then install kvm guests into them through the virtual machine manager. On CentOS-6, even though I added an lv containing 120Gb I am only given the option to create a new volume in the original root location, which itself is a lv, albeit of just 64 Gb. I do not see the additional storage. What step am I missing here?
