[libvirt] Incomplete cleanup in storage backend for physical disks?

Hi all, I have some questions related to the storage backend for physical disks. If I try to create a new storage pool connected to a physical disk that doesn't have a partition table I get the following error messages: error: Failed to create pool from /root/physical_disk_pool.xml error: internal error non-zero exit status from command 2 However, the pool is still exists in inactive state. If I check the code some part of the pool is freed: cleanup: virStoragePoolDefFree(def); if (pool) { virStoragePoolObjUnlock(pool); } storageDriverUnlock(driver); return ret; but not the pool object itself. It feels like I end up with an non-complete pool. What is the story here, shouldn't the pool object also be freed in this case? And what is the suggested to create and start up a storage pool connected to a physical disk that doesn't have a partition table yet? Regards, Henrik
