libvirt users - Sep 2023 - Issue accidentally creating a '--type' defined pool

Hello,

I seem to have accidentally created a pool called "--type", but it 
doesn't appear in 'virsh pool-list'. See below.

[root at vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name --type dir --target 
/data/storage/
Pool --type defined

[root at vh01 /]# virsh pool-list
  Name     State    Autostart
------------------------------
  isos     active   yes
  jblake   active   yes

[root at vh01 /]# virsh pool-destroy '--type'
error: command 'pool-destroy' doesn't support option --type

I can't also create a new "default" type because the directory
exists
for this defined '--type'

[root at vh01 /]# virsh pool-define-as --name default --type dir --target 
/data/storage/
error: Failed to define pool default
error: operation failed: Storage source conflict with pool: '--type'

[root at vh01 /]# virsh pool-delete "--type"
error: command 'pool-delete' doesn't support option --type

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I fixed it. Sorry. I went into Cockpit and saw it there.

You need

  virsh pool-list  --alll

to also seen inactive pools

You would need

   virsh pool-destroy -- --type

the bare '--' tells it to stop looking for option flags even if
following
strings start in --

You may want to use:

virsh pool-destroy --pool --type
