[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] Ignore backing file errors in FS storage pool (v2)

Currently a single storage volume with a broken backing file will disable the whole storage pool. This can happen when the backing file is on some unavailable network storage or if the backing volume is deleted, while the storage volumes using it are not. Since the storage pool then can not be re-activated, re-creating the missing or deleting the now useless volumes using libvirt only is impossible. To "fix" this case, all errors detected during storage pool activation are now (silently) ignored. Errors are still logged by the called functions, which have more knowledge on the detailed error condition. To reproduce: dir=$(mktemp -d) virsh pool-create-as tmp dir '' '' '' '' "$dir" virsh vol-create-as --format qcow2 tmp back 1G virsh vol-create-as --format qcow2 --backing-vol-format qcow2 --backing-vol back tmp cow 1G virsh vol-delete --pool tmp back virsh pool-refresh tmp After the last step, the pool will be gone (because it was not persistent). As long as the now broken image stays in the directory, you will not be able to re-create or re-start the pool.
