Hi, The virt-install command specify the Domain's disk sources. But the virt-install command doesn't check that the disk sources are conflicted among the other domains. The attached patch resolve this issue in the following way: 1) Count that the making domian's disk src is already use the exists domain's disk source. 2) if count > 0, print confirmation message. 3) if type yes then leave disk source as it is, else ask disk source again. I am making a patch for virt-manager about this issue.
