Issue accidentally creating a '--type' defined pool
Hello, I seem to have accidentally created a pool called "--type", but it doesn't appear in 'virsh pool-list'. See below. [root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name --type dir --target /data/storage/ Pool --type defined [root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-list Name State Autostart ------------------------------ isos active yes jblake active yes [root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-destroy '--type' error: command 'pool-destroy' doesn't support option --type I can't also create a new "default" type because the directory exists for this defined '--type' [root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name default --type dir --target /data/storage/ error: Failed to define pool default error: operation failed: Storage source conflict with pool: '--type' [root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-delete "--type" error: command 'pool-delete' doesn't support option --type Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think I fixed it. Sorry. I went into Cockpit and saw it there. ------ Original Message ------

Hello,
I seem to have accidentally created a pool called "--type", but it doesn't appear in 'virsh pool-list'. See below.
[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name --type dir --target /data/storage/ Pool --type defined
[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-list Name State Autostart ------------------------------ isos active yes jblake active yes
[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-destroy '--type' error: command 'pool-destroy' doesn't support option --type
I can't also create a new "default" type because the directory exists for this defined '--type'
[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name default --type dir --target /data/storage/ error: Failed to define pool default error: operation failed: Storage source conflict with pool: '--type'
[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-delete "--type" error: command 'pool-delete' doesn't support option --type
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need virsh pool-list --alll to also seen inactive pools
[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-destroy '--type' error: command 'pool-destroy' doesn't support option --type
You would need virsh pool-destroy -- --type the bare '--' tells it to stop looking for option flags even if following strings start in --
I can't also create a new "default" type because the directory exists for this defined '--type'
[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name default --type dir --target /data/storage/ error: Failed to define pool default error: operation failed: Storage source conflict with pool: '--type'
[root@vh01 /]# virsh pool-delete "--type" error: command 'pool-delete' doesn't support option --type
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to use: virsh pool-destroy --pool --type Michal
