For LVM we just use the defaults, whatever they are. I don't know if it is possible to pass the SSD erase block size up through the virt stack. CC'd to Paolo Bonzini: Will virtio-scsi make this easier for us in future? Yes, in the sense that it just uses the qcow2 disk and doesn't attempt to create one, so whatever backing-file etc settings are already on the qcow2 disk are not modified in any way. No. This is a missing qemu feature which I've asked about a few times, but until qemu and the rest of the virt stack implements it, we won't have it in libguestfs (and conversely when it is implemented, we'll most likely get it for free). Paolo Bonzini: ^^ same question about virtio-scsi ^^ No. In general these are not exposed through libguestfs, although they should be, and could be easily enough if someone wrote the patch.
