Hi Aline,

i can't make the VG with the name you suggested: %(name)s-uuid, i tried to pass this in XML but libvirt will create in the old way, with the volume group using the same name of the logical storage pool.

But, even if it was possible, how can this will fix this problem? The partition that was used to make the storage pool would be used by the vg, and won't be available to create a new storage pool.

Well,

you can also test using virsh. Libvirt is not removing the vg and the pv when you delete a logical storage pool.

The question is: is it better to fix libvirt, submiting a patch for they, or just remove the vg and pv on kimchi?


I don't think it is a libvirt problem.
Deleting a storage pool should not affect the system as storage pool is just a concept.

From kimchi perspective, we should allow the user create the logical storage pool with any name independent
if it was created earlier or not

What we need to do is investigating if there is a way to create a logical pool with name "my-logical-pool"
and the vg with a unique key, like "my-logical-%(uuid)s"
So we guarantee the logical pool name won't affect the vg name.
