Nope. It explain how to use sheepdog with qemu/kvm only (unless I miss 
something).

Libvirt support sheepdog for creating a domain (a virtual guest), but has no 
storage for "network" pools (aka sheepdog, ceph and nbd). I am aware this is 
not directly a sheepdog feature (it's a libvirt one), but as long as it's not 
available, it makes using sheepdog in most environments much more difficult).

This require some work, and I was wondering if anyone around here is working 
on. I think I saw something about this missing feature for ceph volumes (as 
soon as libvirt support one if the available network-based pools, implementing 
other backends should be easy).
