Description of problem: The current RHEL5 python-virtinst will check and warn if the user attempts an installation to a device that is currently in use by another domain (including inactive domains). The same check is not applied to regular files (loop or tap devices). This was fixed upstream by the following commit: http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel?cs=3e2bf458732a Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-virtinst-0.103.0-2.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a domain using a regular file as its storage 2. De-activate the domain 3. Attempt to configure a domain using the same regular file as was used in step 1. Actual results: No warnings that the image is already in use by another domain. Expected results: A warning is output, as in the case for domains using block device backed storage. Additional info:
