Bug Description

Binary package hint: xen-tools

There are four methods of giving the destination for xen-create-image: --dir, --evms, --lvm, and --image-dev. Several places in the code assume only the first three exist. For example:

   147 If you do not wish to use loopback images specify --lvm
   148 or --evms. (These three options are mutually exclusive.)

   770 logprint( "Please specify either a directory, lvm, or evms volume to use.\n");

and checkBinariesPresent lumps image-dev in the LVM codepath, requiring the existence of lvcreate and lvremove.

This is in Hardy's xen-tools, 3.8-4ubuntu4.
