Public bug reported:
When I install a whole new system with ubuntu 12.04 disk I setup
libvirt-bin and virt-manager to create a virtualization server with this
software.
But later I got an error when want to manipulate with lvm libvirt pool
througth virt-manager.
I deleted pool for check if an error of mispelled configuration of a
pool. But this nothing to help me to resolution a problem when after I
want to create a new one with an active lvm volume group.
Which is also used as system volume group.
I mean that I has a one big lvm group over raid1 mdadm, which name is
bigraid.
And This volume group has the following logical volumes:
1. Host server root filesystem (/dev/bigraid/serverrootfs)
2. Host server /var/log filesystem (/dev/bigraid/serverroot_var_log)
3. Virtual machine 1 filesystem (/dev/bigraid/vm1)
4. Virtual machine 2 filesystem (...)
and etc.
I cannot deactivate a volume group on a production server for let
libvirt using some logical volumes for its needs. I think this is not
correctly behaviour.
I can create or/and delete a poll with an unactive volume group
normally. I have another volume group at other mdadm raid. I can
manipulate it without problems.
Therefore I decided to report an error at launchupad.
This error occurs when i want to create a pool via virt-manager:
Error creating pool: Could not start storage pool: internal error Child
process (/sbin/vgchange -aln bigraid) unexpected exit status 5: Can't
deactivate volume group "bigraid" with 11 open logical volume(s)
