Xen users - Jun 2008 - xm destroy does not delete all references

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.
 
tnx
konrad

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:
