Surely there must be someone here that knows how to do this? Maybe someone that has used some other partition type in this way?

I'm running Ubuntu desktop 12.10 with libvirt and virt-manager (gui).

I have been led to believe that it is possible to use and existing partition as the disk storage volume for a virtual machine.

The windows partition is /dev/sda2, but if I use fs: Pre-formatted Block Device I can select the partion. What I can't figure out is how to tell the vitual machine to use this volume.

I tried with virt-manager, but the only options I have are

* Local media * Network install * Network Boot * Import Existing Disk Image

How can I do this?
