libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6.x86_64 I have a broken symlink in /var/lib/libvirt/images I created this xml file: <pool type='dir'> <name>default</name> <target> <path>/var/lib/libvirt/images</path> </target> </pool> and run virsh pool-create [path to file] This fails to create the pool with the error: error: Failed to create pool from [path to file] error: cannot open volume '/var/lib/libvirt/images/[broken symlink]': No such file or directory I don't understand why a broken symlink should cause the pool creation to fail...
