Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Eliminate failure to delete empty storage pools

virStorageBackendFileSystemDelete was incorrectly calling unlink() in an attempt to remove a directory. It should be calling rmdir() instead. (remove() would also work, but could potentially succeed on a non-empty pool if the pool was a symlink to somewhere else). --- src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c b/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c index 16e4bd9..b7d4bd6 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c @@ -693,9 +693,9 @@ virStorageBackendFileSystemDelete(virConnectPtr conn, { /* XXX delete all vols first ? */ - if (unlink(pool->def->target.path) < 0) { + if (rmdir(pool->def->target.path) < 0) { virReportSystemError(conn, errno, - _("cannot unlink path '%s'"), + _("failed to remove pool '%s'"), pool->def->target.path); return -1; }
