[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] Do not delete storage pool with storage volumes assigned to guests

Propose: Return error when a storage pool is marked to be deleted, but it has a storage volume assigned to it. Issues: 1) Nowadays, to delete a storage pool, it must be inactive. To list storage volumes, the storage pool need to be active, so, kimchi must turn it on before querying. The issue is: The storage pool can be handle this way? Can we get trouble with network pools, like nfs? 2) Querying storagevolumes by XML can generate a lot of errors. I did the following algorithm: Get storage pool path -> list all domains -> Compare if storage volumes starts with storage pool path But, not all volumes inside the directory of storage pool belongs to it (there is a example of this case at unit tests). And, as kimchi will support creating volumes outside a pool, this checking will not work. How we can fix this? -- Ramon Nunes Medeiros Kimchi Developer Linux Technology Center Brazil IBM Systems & Technology Group Phone : +55 19 2132 7878 ramonn(a)br.ibm.com
