Can you provide XML for a _working_ volume after it's been defined?

The example XML from the link you provide, which is what we have in our
testsuite, has some confusing bits:

- If specifies <key> but that's a readonly field. So I'm interested to see
what libvirt outputs for a working volume
- The volume path is 'sheepdog:myvol'. Is 'sheepdog:' just a protocol
specified, like http://, or does it reference the pool name?
- Also, from looking at the libvirt code, it seems <target><path> is readonly
as well, so whatever virt-manager specifies is just thrown out. So I'm curious
to see what libvirt spits out for a working volume

Also please put all this in a bug report. Starting tomorrow I'm offline for
two weeks, I want to make sure this info doesn't get lost in the mail shuffle
when I come back

Thanks,
Cole
