LVM allows one specify the VG with VG path like "/dev/lv_pool", and it gets the correct VG name internally by skipping "/dev". <snip> vg_name = skip_dev_dir(cmd, argv[0], NULL); if (strrchr(vg_name, '/')) { log_error("Volume group name expected " "(no slash)"); return 0; } </snip> However, if the path is like "/dev/t/lv_pool", the VG name will be "/t/lv_pool" then, definitely it's not a valid VG name, and LVM will complain and fail. This patch change the codes to use "pool->def->source.name" instead of "pool->def->target.path" to avoid the problem. --- src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c b/src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c index 4de5442..8fe69ea 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_backend_logical.c @@ -562,7 +562,7 @@ virStorageBackendLogicalCreateVol(virConnectPtr conn, char size[100]; const char *cmdargvnew[] = { LVCREATE, "--name", vol->name, "-L", size, - pool->def->target.path, NULL + pool->def->source.name, NULL }; const char *cmdargvsnap[] = { LVCREATE, "--name", vol->name, "-L", size, -- 1.7.4
