Full SCSI passthrough per "desktop" VM is an overkill for this user case.
(Plus, I don't see MD devices in the list, only pure SATA/SAS devices).
Any idea if there are plans to add support for LVM devices (or any other block device)?
I don't think there is such a plan, but it makes sense to support such usage.
Please file ovit-engine RFE explaining the use case, and we can consider
it for a future version.
