I'm not entirely sure why Libvirt is checking to see if the target file
exists for LVM but it is a problem. Empty volume groups do not appear in
/dev. When libvirt starts these pools then fail to autostart because
their path does not exist. This is not useful, this is the patch we are
running to resolve this issue.
