Re: [libvirt] [libvirt PATCH] storage: Skip not active lv volumes

If the volume is of a clustered volume group, and not active, the related pool APIs fails on open /dev/vg/lv. If the volume is suspended, it hangs on open(2) the volume. Though the best solution is to expose the volume status in volume XML, and even better to provide API to active/deactive the volume,

but it's not the work I want to touch currently. Volume status in other status is just fine to skip.
