Create a libvirt storage pool of type dir backed by a logical volume. A logical volume with a given size and name will be created as well as a mountpoint and a ext4 filesystem on it.
Make sure, you have set up a volume-group to use with this role. A working installation of libvirtd is required as well. The libraries needed by the module virt_pool, which is used internally are installed by this role.
Name of the lv which will be created:
virt_dir_storage_pool_lv: staging_vms
Volumegroup which will be used to create the pool:
virt_dir_storage_pool_vg: vg1
Size of the pool which will be created:
virt_dir_storage_pool_size: 20G
This example will result in a logical volume named staging_vms, a mount point /mnt/vg1_staging_vms and a storage pool named vg1_staging_vms.
