Hi everyone,

I have storage-pool that for some reason became inactive (possibly due to an error with pool-refresh in an old version of a Java API binding).

I want to restart the pool but am unable to, due to the volume being mounted:

# virsh pool-start [uuid]
error: Failed to start pool [uuid]
error: Requested operation is not valid: Target '/mnt/[uuid]' is already mounted

We have tested this with versions 0.9.12 and 0.9.13.

Is it possible to bypass this mount check and start the storage pool (forcefully)?

Many thanks,
Ragnar Skúlason
