[libvirt] When are volumes 'detected' / refreshed
At what time are volumes currently detected on NetFS? I see there is some sort of storage now going on, since deleting files from NFS doesn't delete them from vol-list directly. (If this is fixed in a recent version... I'm sorry to bother) Stefan

I haven't scoured the code, so I'm not sure if a pool will ever auto update its vol list aside from the initial lookup (I'm guessing not), but you can trigger this with the virStoragePoolRefresh function. - Cole

You must ask for a refresh - 'pool-refresh' or the equivalent C API. This is because refreshing is a very expensive operation for some types of storage pool, so we don't do it automatically.
