+Subject: [PATCH] virStorageBackendLogicalCheckPool: Properly mark empty
+ logical pools as active
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The '/dev' filesystem convenience directory for a LVM volume group is
+not created when the volume group is empty.
+
+The logic in 'virStorageBackendLogicalCheckPool' which is used to see
+whether a pool is active was first checking presence of the directory,
+which failed for an empty VG.
+
+Since the second step is virStorageBackendLogicalMatchPoolSource which
+is checking mapping between configured PVs and the VG, we can simply
+rely on the function to also check presence of the pool.
+
+Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2228223
