image\_raw\_device
==================
Description
-----------
Flags whether the backing image for a given drive is a block device
instead of a regular file.
By default we assume all images are backed by files:
::
image_raw_device = no
But suppose you define a new variant, for another guest, that will have
a disk backed by a block device (say, an LVM volume):
::
CustomGuestLinux:
image_name = /dev/vg/linux_guest
image_raw_device = yes
