This is breaking my qemu-server config unit tests because the file
don't exist.

Also, for lvm volume, they are not currently activate at vm command
line generation. (but anyway, I'll need it to retrieve backing chain,
so maybe it's not a problem)


Do you think it's enough safe to rely on /dev/.. path?
