RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Matthew Booth 2011-05-25 10:40:48 UTC

Attempting to delete a volume which is still being created returns VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR. It should return VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID.

1, creating a hug volume in a pool with dir type

<volume>
  <name>vol1</name>
  <key>/tmp/dirpool/vol</key>
  <capacity unit="G">30</capacity>
  <allocation unit="G">30</allocation>
  <target>
    <path>/tmp/dirpool/vol</path>
    <format type='raw'/>
  </target>
</volume>

2 run the following commands:
# virsh vol-create dirpool ./voldirpool.xml & virsh vol-delete vol1 dirpool
[1] 26923
error: Failed to delete vol vol1
error: internal error volume 'vol1' is still being allocated.

it still reported internal error.

Comment 6 Gunannan Ren 2011-07-06 09:22:42 UTC

I tested it in libvirt-0.9.3-1.el6

Comment 7 Dave Allan 2011-07-15 13:48:04 UTC

Indeed, code inspection shows the patch to have fixed storageVolumeDownload not delete.  I've submitted an additional patch upstream.

Comment 8 Dave Allan 2011-07-15 14:43:01 UTC

commit 618b55220ac0cfdbfb4fa4af6adf7631a9962397
Author: Dave Allan <dallan>
Date:   Fri Jul 15 09:47:12 2011 -0400

    Fix error code for storage operations
    
    Many volume operations will fail if the volume in question is being
    allocated.  These operations were returning VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR
    when they should be returning VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID.

Comment 10 Gunannan Ren 2011-08-01 07:00:19 UTC

The bug has been verified on libvirt-0.9.4-rc1-1.el6

# virsh vol-create dirpool ./dirvol.xml & virsh vol-delete vol1 dirpool
[1] 19930
error: Failed to delete vol vol1
error: Requested operation is not valid: volume 'vol1' is still being allocated.

Comment 11 Gunannan Ren 2011-08-01 07:14:34 UTC

retest it on rc2 version, it is fixed.

libvirt-client-0.9.4-0rc2.el6.x86_64

# virsh vol-create dirpool ./dirvol.xml & virsh vol-delete vol1 dirpool
