KVM Host Guest Installation Media

When installing a KVM Guest, that KVM Guest needs to boot from an installation media. Create a partition that holds those installation media.

lvcreate --name media --size 4G vg_storage
mkfs.btrfs /dev/vg_storage/media
mkdir /mnt/media

Add this to /etc/fstab.

/dev/mapper/vg_storage-media /mnt/media               btrfs   defaults        0       0

Mount the new partition.

mount /mnt/media

Get the installation media.

mkdir -p /mnt/media/debian/stretch
cd /mnt/media/debian/stretch
