[libvirt] [PATCH] storage: Error out earlier if the volume target path already exists

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=832302 It's odd to fall through to buildVol, and the existed file is removed when buildVol fails. This checks if the volume target path already exists in createVol. The reason for not using error like "Volume already exists" is that there isn't volume maintained by libvirt for the path until a operation like pool-refresh, using error like that will just cause confusion. --- BTW, It inspires me again that perhaps we should integrate things like inotify to storage. --- src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c b/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c index 4e6ebbf..6cddad0 100644 --- a/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c +++ b/src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c @@ -1000,6 +1000,13 @@ virStorageBackendFileSystemVolCreate(virConnectPtr conn ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, return -1; } + if (virFileExists(vol->target.path)) { + virReportError(VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID, + _("volume target path '%s' already exists"), + vol->target.path); + return -1; + } + VIR_FREE(vol->key); vol->key = strdup(vol->target.path); if (vol->key == NULL) { -- 1.7.7.6
