Ok, but this is the hypervisor view. For a guest OS this LV is normal
RAW block device. I wonder if someone test this feature and access
shared disk from many VM's at the same time?
it was tested, but it has to be RAW/pre-allocated or either LV metadata
changes or qcow changes need to be changed in more than a single host.
