Hi all,

I was jumpstarting a VM but somehow I had to quit installation. I did an xm destroy {name} to restart all over. Unfortunately when I tried to re-install using virt-install, I got a response :

Disk /dev/mapper/rootvg-secure_build is already in use by another guest!

How can I get rid of all references to this unwanted domU.

Take a look at the lsof command.

You should be able to us something like:

lsof | grep <your vg name>

then kill the PID that owns that file.

There was some discussion awhile back on this topic:

Cheers,
Todd
