This patch fixes the problem. Hum, I tried to assert the level of damage this bug generates and I have been surprized by the following: virsh # pool-create /tmp/pool.xml Pool testpool created from /tmp/pool.xml virsh # pool-list Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- testpool active no virsh # pool-create /tmp/pool.xml error: Failed to create pool from /tmp/pool.xml error: internal error storage pool already exists virsh # pool-list Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- testpool active no virsh # I.e. on an unpatched libvirtd, I can hit the error, but the pool still shows up, so I'm wondering what's the effect of the virStoragePoolObjRemove(&driver->pools, pool); that we are avoiding here... it should remove the pool from the list, but I'm not seeing this, so I'm a bit puzzled...
