Hello.

Base system - CentOS 7. I create /dev/sda3 with LVM type:

/dev/sda3 61851648 975699967 456924160 8e Linux LVM

Then i add storage in web-panel: LVM, type by default logical, device /dev/sda3. When i create instance, i select LVM storage and see this:

<disk type='file' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
  <source file='/dev/LVM/vm01'/>
  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
</disk>

Why raw disk used if we work with LVM?
