this one really doesn't make much sense for containers (if the volume
contains the default ext4, MMP means the container can't be started?) -
it could be handled though as well (just migrate the volume once, and
replace the references with the target volid?)

wrong name - this contains both referenced and unreferenced paths (and
also, long variable names would benefit from _ for separation of words)

> +    my $referenced = {}; # volid -> config key (e.g. mp0)

also wrong - contains both referenced and unreferenced volids, and also
doesn't always map to the config key ;)

but before diving further into nit territory - we already have $volhash
that is filled for all volumes, wouldn't it make more sense to re-use
it? the order is inverse compared to your patch here, but that doesn't
really matter (and it would avoid iterating over the config twice).
compared to your patch, it also covers snapshots (everything in
snapshots should also be in the current config either still used or as
unusedX, but who knows).

there are three things we'd need to do:
- in $test_volid, if 'ref' is already config, error out (same volid
  referenced in current config multiple times)
- add the path of each volid to the volhash while filling it
- after $volhash is filled, iterate over it and check for aliased paths
  (and depending on where the volid comes from, warn and ignore or error
  out)

or am I missing something?

alternatively, instead of putting the path into volhash, it could be
tracked separately (e.g. in a $path_to_volid hash) and checked directly
while iterating instead of at the end.
