[lxc-users] Import Existing LVM Thin Pool Using lxc storage Commands

It appears that, at least by default, the LXD storage API for LVM
expects to have exclusive control of an entire volume group. I don't
have space on one of my servers to make a new volume group to give to
LXD, but I have lots of space in the existing volume group and have
created a new LVM to be a thin pool. (For consistency with the usual
scenario, I have named it LXDPool.

Can I use the lxc storage commands to make that the source for an LXD
pool without endangering my other logical volumes on the shared VG?
