(LINUX) LINUX (2021)

Set up QEMU/KVM storage pool (define, build, start, autostart and using)

This is finally result of my disk definition.



Pool need to (1) define, (2) build, (3) start, (4) autostart. Than define disks (disk partitution) inside pool for VM.



And finally disk can be used by VM.
