it seems that if pools has the same path even with different uuid ,they will be
recognize as one pool.
if i have defined a pool with a special path, next time to define a new one(same path ,
different uuid) will fail. then i delete(rm -f ) pool.xml file, define the pool again ,
it fail too. so if there is cache for all pools been defined until next start
libvirtd?
my questions:
1. how to delete a pool entilely , include pool-xml file and possible cache (not to
restart libvirtd).?
2.throught calling libvirt API , how to find the pool with a special path,no need to
define it again?
thanks

You may have found a bug - in general, different UUID must mean
different pools, but the same path should not be possible in different
pools.

virsh pool-undefine

Not quite sure I understood the question, but 'virsh pool-list' and
'virsh pool-refresh' might be helpful.

hi,
1.for netfs, it check not only UUID but alse host-ip and dir to find a suplicated
pool.
it needs a discuss. in my case i need add several pool which share a nfs-export.
2.if it is possible to supply a API like storagePoolLookupByHostAndDirString for
netfs?
so easy to locate a pool with special host and dir?
thanks.

Why do you need multiple pools visiting the same export? I haven't
played with netfs pools much; perhaps demonstrating some actual pool XML
that you are trying to represent will help us understand what you are
trying to do.
2.if it is possible to supply a API like
storagePoolLookupByHostAndDirString for netfs?

If virStoragePoolLookupByName doesn't do what you want, then yes it
might be worth adding a new API that does the particular lookup that you
want.

1.in my case , i attach a ISO to several VM, each action of attachment will define a
pool from XML, so different UUID but same host and dir. otherwhile i have to record
how many times a ISO is attached. hard to know how many ISO and how many VM.
maybe you can add a configuration option weather this is allowed .
2.it seems that pool-undefine do not delete local-directory corresponding to a pool,
this will leave lots of unused dir.
thanks
